Iv. Current Developments

Useful but selective information can be found in the annual official volume issued by the Hong Kong Government, Hong Kong 1974, Report for the Year 1973 (Hong Kong, Hong Kong Government Press, 1974): this is updated each

year.

More immediate events can be followed in: Asia Research Bulletin (Singapore, monthly): this provides a very good digest of the latest developments; Pacific Imperialism Notebook (San Francisco, monthly), which concentrates on econo- mic news; the two most useful weekly sources are the Far Eastern Economic Review and the Ta Kung Pao (English-language weekly edition). The former represents the advanced sector of the Hong Kong ruling group; the Ta Kung Pao is the only regular English-language source which represents the working class in Hong Kong and those who support the People's Republic of China.
