The Cold War and Sino-British negotiations over Hong Kong’s future, 1979-1984

Wai Li Chu obtained his MPhil at the Department of History, Hong Kong Baptist University, before coming to study at Bristol. His project examines the wider contexts of the negotiations between Britain and China over Hong Kong’s future, such as discussions with other powers including the United States and Australia. The project also looks at how decolonisation globally influenced relations between Britain and its colony in this period.

A part-time student, he works at the Public Record Office in Hong Kong as an Assistant Archivist.
