Monday.COME "Revisiting the History of the Chinese Community Party in Hong Kong for a Deeper Understanding of the New Political Scene in Hong Kong"

We are pleased to have invited Mr. KIANG Kwan Sang, veteran journalist and author of the acclaimed The Chinese Communist Party in Hong Kong, Book 1, (1921-1949), as the guest speaker of the coming Monday.COME to review the almost century-long history of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Hong Kong. Understanding the CCP in Hong Kong is the new starting point of understanding the political scene in Hong Kong. Mr. Kiang’s new book on the history of CCP in Hong Kong was based on a huge amount of first-hand materials from such sources as the de-classified internal documents of the CCP, confidential files of the British Hong Kong government and confidential documents of the US intelligence agencies, the diaries, memoirs, chronicles, and biographies of those involved, as well as various literature and newspaper clippings. Combining these first-hand materials with insights in scholarly researches from the earliest to the latest, this book counts as the first attempt to thoroughly expose the activities of the CCP in Hong Kong.
