Socio-Cultural and Political Background of the Development of Relations between Hong Kong and Mainland China in the Context of the Pandemic Era
The article examines the key forms of socio-cultural and political identity of Hong Kong, analyzes the contexts of British heritage, Western education, and the political and legal form of relations within Hong Kong. The main contradictions between the Central government of Beijing and the opposition of Hong Kong are analyzed using a number of examples and cases. Special attention is paid to the socio-cultural form of protest and the formation, development and functioning of the mechanisms of Hong Kong identity in contrast to mainland China. Contradictions that existed in the interaction of two different standards between mainland China and Hong Kong are not only in the political-institutional dimension, but also in the cultural history associated with British background (primarily the generation of civil society and legal positivism), and education in light of one of the key financial centers of Asia in particular and the world in General. Events related directly and indirectly to the pandemic era are somehow superimposed on the existing contradictions with Hong Kong and the protest nature in connection with the strengthening of the Central government and the transition of traditional levers of actual management to it. Aspects of laws and contradictions in their implementation are demonstrated in this article in 6 points designated as systemforming in the context of this conflict of interest and socio-cultural contradiction.
