Summary

As much debated among Vietnamese nationalists, even the notion of a nation of Vietnam was in tension with a greater Indochina, or what is described here as a “geobody.” Yet this chapter also wonders how memory of the Hong Kong interlude plays out in Vietnam (and Indonesia) today. Ho Chi Minh reconnected with lawyer Frank Loseby after the war, and Loseby (and even Jenkin KC) are honored today in Hanoi as saviors. In addition, British rule of law and independence of the judiciary – as showcased in this book – are seemingly cast in a new and positive light. But if Ho Chi Minh's Hong Kong interlude has been celebrated in books and even movies in Vietnam, memory of Tan Malaka remains far more contested in Indonesia today, notwithstanding his “rehabilitation” in more democratic times as a “father of the Republic.”
