  • The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

In the past year issues such as the increasingly strained relationship between the Legislature and the Executive Authorities, filibustering by a few Members in Council and committees, differences and polarized opinions among political camps often took the limelight. Despite these challenges, Members continued to carry out work in scrutinizing legislative and financial proposals, monitoring the Government and giving views on public policies and matters of public concern. In the 2013-2014 legislative session, the Council passed 19 bills, 10 with amendments. Some of these bills, such as the Stamp Duty (Amendment) Bill 2012 and the Stamp Duty (Amendment) Bill 2013 which implemented measures to address the overheated property market, have far-reaching effects across society.

While it has been widely analyzed by scholars that state corporatism characterizes the state-society relations in China, including the state’s relations with its autonomous regions, Hong Kong as a special administrative region, however, shows that the ruling strategies of China are very adaptive. Comparing with the rest of China where the united front work is partly characterized by a heavy-handed policy of assimilation, the united front work in the post-handover Hong Kong illustrates a more inclusionary version of state corporatism through five types of measures, namely, integration, cooptation, collaboration, containment, and denunciation. The strategies range from soft to hard tactics, and are adopted depending upon whether the central government regards its targets as friends, valuable potential cooptees or enemies.
