Made in Hong Kong delivers a new narrative of this metamorphosis, revealing Hong Kong both as a critical engine in the expansion and remaking of postwar global capitalism and as the linchpin of Sino-U.S. trade since the 1970s. Peter E. Hamilton explores the role of an overlooked transnational Chinese elite who fled to Hong Kong amid war and revolution. Despite losing material possessions, these industrialists, bankers, academics, and other professionals retained crucial connections to the United States. They used these relationships to enmesh themselves and Hong Kong with the U.S. through commercial ties and higher education. By the 1960s, Hong Kong had become a manufacturing powerhouse supplying American consumers, and by the 1970s it was the world's largest sender of foreign students to American colleges and universities. Hong Kong's reorientation toward U.S. international leadership enabled its transplanted Chinese elites to benefit from expanding American influence in Asia and positioned them to act as shepherds to China's reengagement with global capitalism. After China's reforms accelerated under Deng Xiaoping, Hong Kong became a crucial node for China's export-driven development, connecting Chinese labor with the U.S. market. Analyzing untapped archival sources from around the world, this book demonstrates why we cannot understand postwar globalization, China's economic rise, or today's Sino-U.S. trade relationship without centering Hong Kong"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Economic development $z Hong Kong. $z Hong Kong. 650 0 $a Globalization $z Hong Kong. $z Hong Kong. 651 0 $a Hong Kong (China) $x Economic conditions. 651 0 $a Hong Kong (China) $x Commerce $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Commerce $z Hong Kong. $z Hong Kong. 651 0 $a Hong Kong (China) $x Foreign economic relations $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign economic relations $z Hong Kong. $z Hong Kong. 650 7 $a Commerce. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869279 650 7 $a Economic development. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901785 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Globalization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00943532 650 7 $a International economic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976891 651 7 $a China $z Hong Kong. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01260796 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hamilton, Peter E. $t Made in Hong Kong $d New York : Columbia University Press, [2020] $z 9780231184854 $w (DLC) 2020021223 830 0 $a Studies of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020011654.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9D268D14FFE911EBB6EAFDEE22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
