China rewrites history of Hong Kong

Article Abstract:

The film 'The Opium War,' the most expensive mainland Chinese film ever made, tells the history of the British conquest of Hong Kong in a way which is generally very flattering to China. It has been warmly welcomed by top officials in China, and will be widely shown in China and Hong Kong, as well as at Chinese embassies around the world. It is among a considerable number of propaganda weapons which will be used by China as the handover of Hong Kong approaches.

Article Abstract:

Visitors to Peking, China, will be aware of the significant social and economic changes taking place there. In particularly, unemployment has become a key problem. Some parts of the city give the impression of a high-tech economy, but visitors are also aware that ordinary people live in cramped conditions in very basic housing. Visitors to the city will also wish to visit its markets, where genuine bargains can be obtained.
