Abstract:
Hong Kong Media and Asia's Cold War discusses the cultural battle between Communist China, Nationalist Taiwan, and the United States to mobilize Hong Kong cinema and print media to sway ethnic Chinese across the world. Through untapped archival materials, contemporary sources, and numerous interviews with filmmakers, magazine editors, and student activists, Po-Shek Fu explores how global conflicts were localized and intertwined with myriad local historical experiences and cultural formation.
