Thanks to the Henry Jackson Society and the many wonderful contributors and friends who contributed to this report — Joe Lian, Martin Lee, Margaret Ng, Alex Chow, Jeffrey Ngo, Ben Rogers, Kerry Brown and Milia Hau.
Thanks also to Fiona Bruce and Catherine West, Richard Ottaway, Malcolm Rifkind and the late Paddy Ashdown, who have all done so much in the UK to keep Hong Kong relevant; and the many others who have all played their part but who must remain anonymous.
In particular I wish to thank John Hemmings, director of the Asia Centre at the HJS, who has been such a positive support and friend during difficult times.
