Self-censorship and the struggle for press freedom in Hong Kong

Cheung, Anne S. Y., author.
The Hague, Netherlands ; Kluwer Law International, [2003]

"This book asks: what does self-censorship mean to Hong Kong at the time of political and historical juncture? It argues that self-censorship is a strategic game of coordination when both the ruler and the subjects are making use of the fluid boundaries in local and international politics. Rich in anecdotes, historical details and legal analysis, this book depicts the game of shadow-boxing where promises, threats and bluffs are exchanged."--Jacket
