Opinion | How Hong Kong 'reinvented itself' in a new era
Five years ago, following the passage of the National Security Law (NSL), the "fourth era of Hong Kong" began. An era is defined as a period of time representing a political status quo, of which is both started and ended by a seismic event which changes everything. While there is much to debate to had on what "eras" we can derive from Hong Kong's history, for the purposes of this piece, I am defining four. First, the early colonial era, 1841 to 1945, the Cold Boom War era, 1945-1997, the handover era 1997-2020, and now the China-US competition era (2020-).
