NEW YORK - TelAve -- New Book Challenges Simplified Narratives of Hong Kong, Reclaiming Identity, Complexity, and Home

Hong Kong Belongs to Hongkongers (香港係香港人嘅) is a powerful, clear-eyed examination of one of the most contested cities of the twenty-first century, and a defense of complexity in an era of slogans. Written by Adam Clermont, an American who chose Hong Kong as his home, the book explores how the city's identity has been repeatedly misunderstood, instrumentalized, and fractured by forces far beyond its control.

Since release, Hong Kong Belongs to Hongkongers (香港係香港人嘅)has achieved a #1 New Release ranking on Amazon, signaling strong early interest among readers seeking deeper, more nuanced perspectives on Hong Kong's past and present. Clermont has also been named Author of the Month by UK Talk Radio, recognizing his contribution to public discourse on global politics, identity, and media narratives.

Rather than presenting a binary morality tale, the book traces Hong Kong's trajectory from colonial governance through the 1997 handover and into the pivotal moments of 2014 and 2019. Clermont examines uncomfortable truths on all sides, including the limits of British rule, Beijing's strategic calculations, the consequences of maximalist activism, and the role of Western media and governments in amplifying confrontation while bearing none of its costs.

At its core, this is a book about identity, what it means to belong to a place that is constantly spoken about but rarely listened to. It is about resistance, not only in the streets but in language, framing, and memory. And it is about home, and how easily it can be turned into a symbol for someone else's agenda.

Drawing on law, psychology, journalism, and lived experience, Clermont asks a harder question than who is right or wrong: What was possible, and who benefited when that possibility was destroyed? The result is a thoughtful, provocative work that resists easy answers and invites readers to reconsider what they think they know about Hong Kong.
