英文摘要 |
This essay begins with the observation that Hong Kong's distrust of mainland China has deepened nearly two decades after its return to China. In an attempt to understand what has brought about the present difficulties in the relationship between the two places, the essay offers a reading of what it calls Hong Kong's "internal racism" against mainlanders. That the essay chooses not to discuss in detail the territory's constitutional statues and identity or its so-called "core values" does not mean that its author overlooks these important issues. The essay has its focus on the advancement of the following points: 1) that the convergence of Hong Kong's neoliberal capitalism and its colonial culture has played a singular role in defining Hong Kong's rejection of the mainland and 2) that its ideological and political divergence from the mainland, which has frequently been considered by commentators as the locale of tension and conflict, may be read as intensified manifestation of its deep-seated capitalistic/colonial way of life. |
