The authors argue that the placement of two important symbols of British rule outside the city\u2019s ceremonial and administrative heart allegorized the colonial state\u2019s desire to win hearts and minds among the local Chinese population. With Britain\u2019s declining power and America\u2019s rise as Asia\u2019s primary hegemon, the colonial state hedged its survival on transforming Hong Kong into a haven of capitalism and consumerism. Causeway Bay became the core site of this experiment. The creation of Victoria Park on reclaimed land and the placement of Queen\u2019s College in Causeway Bay turned the district into a prime commercial and residential area well-sought after by aspirational Chinese inhabitants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: The Heart of the Berlin of the East: Victoria Park, Queen\u2019s College, and Causeway Bay in Cold War
