One Hong Kong, Two Histories: "History" and "Chinese History" in the Hong Kong School Curriculum.
Kan, Flora; Vickers, Edward
Comparative Education, v38 n1 p73-89 Feb 2002

In contrast to conventional theories of colonial education, this may have been a mutually convenient collaboration between the government and local educational elites to avoid political controversy.
