- Summary:
-
The essays in this volume, prepared by several of the world's leading specialists on Chinese commerce, finance, law, and international relations, explain what reversion will mean to the people of Hong Kong and to those of us who invest, trade, and shop there. Will a Hong Kong ruled from Beijing continue to be a safe haven for those who live there and those who earn their fortunes there? The contributors to this volume note that Chinese leaders have shown only limited comprehension of what the continued success of Hong Kong will require. Nonetheless, they are agreed that China will try to maintain Hong Kong's role in the international economic system and that the prognosis for the short run is good. In the long run, they fear that Beijing will inadvertently strangle the goose that lays the golden egg.
