The Cultural Revolution

In Hong Kong during 1966 and 1967 I had spent the first part of my sabbatical leave reading on subjects completely unrelated to the Chinese Communist movement, while on the other side of the border the Cultural Revolution was raging with increasing intensity and threatening to spill over into the Crown Colony.

The Cultural Revolution

This article seeks to explain the transnational development of Maoism in the attempt to legitimise the Cultural Revolution and the 1967 Hong Kong Riots to Britain’s ethnic Chinese populace. Based primarily on a survey of ethnic Chinese in Britain undertaken by the Hong Kong government in 1967, both the British and Hong Kong governments were forced to respond to the transnational expansion of Maoism, transmitted by the People’s Republic of China and embraced by certain members of Britain’s Chinese community who faced inequality and discrimination under British rule. This Maoist agitation in turn forced Britain to commit to the welfare of its Chinese community and foster the idea of a Hong Kong identity that was distinctive from Maoism.
