The Middle is a position somewhere in between physical reality and the world of ideas. It is also a dwelling space somewhere in between the personal and the political. But most importantly, it is a very concrete place in geographical terms. The Middle Kingdom, China - known for being the greatest dictatorship in the world - is the main topic of discussion in this forum. Ironically, if published in the Middle Kingdom, this blog would most likely have been forbidden.

Back in the middle #2

Once again, I am back in the Middle after a long period of absence. After having been emerged in Swedish politics during the past six months, I am more ready than ever to delve back into the Hong Kong and Chinese political scene - albeit from a distance.

The result of my two months in Hong Kong this past spring can be found here.

Or, if you want 36 pages summarized - despite Chinese dominance, the Hong Kong political party system is evolving and constantly expanding in terms of dimensions and issues. In fact, there are many similarities with the Swedish party system. More about this next later on.

Until then...joi gin!
