摘要

摘要:长期以来，人们一直认为香港作为主要的金融中心，在地区地缘政治中发挥的作用有限。然而，在北京的独裁统治下，它作为一个半自治和开放城市的独特地位意味着，它一直是争夺、影响和颠覆的成熟之地，不仅来自西方，也来自日益寻求将其力量投射到海外的中国。与处于美中竞争断层线上的坚固邻国不同，我们认为香港对这场竞争的影响并不小。我们讨论了香港如何在两个超级大国在其他非军事问题领域的竞争中被用作杠杆，作为促进各自治理模式(威权主义与自由民主)的资源，以及作为考虑选择中国还是美国领导的国际秩序的国家的典范。

Perils of the Orient: Hong Kong as a Battleground in the US-China Rivalry

Abstract:As a leading financial hub, it is long assumed that Hong Kong plays a limited role in the region's geopolitics. However, its unique status as a semi-autonomous and open city under the otherwise authoritarian rule of Beijing means that it has always been ripe for contention, influence, and subversion not only from the West but also from a China that increasingly seeks to project its power beyond its shores. Unlike its fortified neighbors situated at the fault line in the ongoing US-China rivalry, we argue that Hong Kong is no less consequential to the rivalry. We discuss how Hong Kong has been used as a leverage in the two superpowers' competition in other non-military issue-areas, as a resource to promote their respective mode of governance (authoritarianism versus liberal democracy), and as an exemplar for countries contemplating between the choice of a Chineseversus American-led international order.
