| Abstract | Hong Kong’s border with Shenzhen is rapidly dissolving. By 2047, the border will no longer exist. Integration with the Mainland will remove distinctions created by the 'One Country Two Systems' policy. The uncertainty surrounding this situation has created anxiety about preserving cultural differences and values, identity, freedom of speech and the right to vote. Caught in this debate is the Frontier Closed Area, a buffer zone created by the British in 1951 to strengthen Hong Kong’s separation from the Mainland. This closed land has retained a landscape of ecosystems including tidal estuaries, fish farms, primary forests, historic villages, and abandoned military posts. |
