Beijing's Encomium to Tung Chee hwa: A Reflection of China's Hong Kong Strategy The recent state funeral for Tung Chee hwa in Hong Kong was an occasion for the Chinese government to extol its own virtues, rather than simply mourn a passing.
Senior official Shi Taifeng delivered a eulogy replete with laudatory language about the deceased leader's "patriotism" and commitment to "one country, two systems.
" Shi's remarks were notable for their emphasis on Tung's role in quelling the 2019 social unrest in Hong Kong.
