“This volume provides a unique look at the One Country Two Systems through studying the interplay between Beijing and the SARs in the hosting of mega-events. It delivers a new perspective in the understanding of Beijing-SAR relationship going beyond the dichotomy of autonomy vs intervention.” – Eilo Yu, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Macao, Macao “This original study provides a nuanced analysis of the politics behind the hosting of mega-events in Hong Kong and Macao. Drawing on a rich array of sources, Chu lucidly shows the complex cast of players in the political drama, and its implications for Greater China and beyond.” – Shalendra Sharma, Chair Professor of Political Science, Lingnan University, Hong Kong “This book unravels the intriguing political dynamics behind Hong Kong and Macao’s hosting of international mega-events. With exhaustive coverage and systematic analyses, it illuminates how political imperatives at time triumph over economic considerations of the two SARs.” – Vic Li, Assistant Professor of Political Science, Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong This book explores the connection between politics and mega-events in post-handover Hong Kong and Macao. It also offers an in-depth account of the two cities’ keenness to integrate with China and engage in the international society and China’s eagerness to build image, boost influence and gain respect on the global arena. This work will facilitate academics, think tanks, diplomats and government officials to further understand the politics and international relations of China, Hong Kong and Macao. Marcus P. Chu is Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at Lingnan University, Hong Kong.

Chu explores the politics behind Taiwanese cities’ pursuit of international sporting events, and the Chinese authorities’ strategic measures in handling the relations with Taiwan since the 1990s.It is assumed that the Chinese authorities constantly oppose Taiwanese cities’ application for, and boycott their subsequent holding of, international sporting events. Doing so would obstruct Taiwan’s capacity to raise its visibility and influence in world society, and defend the One-China principle. In fact, the role of China in Taiwan’s pursuit of international sporting events is not invariably as a fatal obstructer, but sometimes a neutral bystander or even an enthusiastic supporter. Chu examines the reasons behind this phenomenon. Reviewing the 18 Taiwanese bidding attempts and four hosting projects, he argues that China’s inconsistent response is determined by the ups and downs of Cross-Strait political ties. As a result, this book provides insight into the nexus between sports and politics in the context of China-Taiwan rivalry.A must read for scholars, students, and other watchers of Cross-Strait relations.
