Despite the break from Maoism following the fall of the Gang of Four and Deng Xiaoping’s movement towards capitalist modernization, the brutal events of Tiananmen Square caused great concern for a territory facing many changes in the near future. Even before these disturbing events Hong Kong’s imminent return to a motherland with a different dialect and social customs evoked insecurity on the part of a population still remembering the violent events of the Cultural Revolution as well as the Maoist- inspired riots that affected the colony in 1967.

    The Lares Institute. For Release: September 26, 2011. For Release: 3:00 p.m. (EST) Hon. Ron Packard Joins Lares Institute Advisory Board September 26, 2011. The Honorable Ron Packard has been selected to join the advisory board of The Lares Institute, a think tank that researches issues related to emerging technology, information governance and legal process management. He joins Executive Director Andrew Serwin, and Senior Research Advisor, Dr. Larry Ponemon. “I am very pleased to have Congressman Packard join our advisory board, and to have the opportunity to work with him once again”, said Andrew Serwin, Executive Director of the Lares Institute.
