This study examines the technological, economic and political influences in telecommunications between China and Hongkong in the last decade, by means of a pluralistic approach. Particularly, the study looks into technology transfer, bi-lateral trade and investment, as well as bi-lateral politics in telecommunications between China and Hongkong. The study shows that in the interaction between China*s policy-driven and Hongkong’s market-driven telecommunications, Hongkong’s influence upon China mostly lips in its economic strength in telecommunications, while China’s influence upon Hongkong’s telecommunications is mainly a political one. The double-track system and shift toward decentralization in China's telecommunications on the one hand, and the dual-authority situation and a trend toward greater government mediation in Hongkong’s telecommunications on the other, sets the broad framework of the China-Hongkong interaction in telecommunications. Hongkong’s economic influences upon China, combined with the local market forces and the decentralization trend in policy-making in China, presents a liberating market force vis-a-vis the conservative political force in China's telecommunications. But on the other hand, China's powerful state mechanism counteracts influences from Hongkong upon its telecommunications ownership and market structure. China’s political influence upon Hongkong’s telecommunications comes from both the direct political pressures it exerts on the Hongkong government and its participation and manipulation in Hongkong's corporations through its investment arms. Given the market force in Hongkong's telecommunications and the need of China to maintain the stability and prosperity in Hongkong’s economy, China will increasingly use its commercial clout, rather than political clout, to affect Hongkong’s telecommunications.
