- Description 詳情
This talk tells the story of Dragon Lady Traders, a US-based company established by Veronica Yhap in the early 1970s that imported clothing from China. Yhap’s experiences highlight the challenges and contingencies of US-China trade relations after 20 years of Cold War isolation. But they also reveal the importance of both the textile industry and Hong Kong to China’s reintegration with global capitalism.
