  • Description: [...]he criticizes three popular slogans that treat Hong Kong’s future independently from Beijing. [...]Au proposes that for the working people, a new vision of Hong Kong should include the values of identity and autonomy as well as distributive justice and democracy. In saying that the young protesters were only interested in «post-materialist values» the author argues that the liberals and the localists further facilitated the hegemony of upper-middle classes and prevented the lower class from understanding the real roots of their exploitation (p. 149). [...]Au calls for bringing a class dimension in analyzing the rise of the youth movement. In defending Hong Kong’s autonomy, the upper classes’ aim is to maintain the status quo without challenging capitalist relations, which do not correspond to working people’s interests. [...]from a leftist point of view, Au proposes that the working people’s vision of a new Hong Kong should be guided by not only the values of identity and self-determination, but also the values of democracy and distributive justice (p. 171).
