[Countries] Hong Kong (special administrative region of China) Background: Occupied by the UK in 1841, Hong Kong was formally ceded by China the following year; various adjacent lands were added later in the 19th century. Pursuant to an agreement signed by China and the UK on 19 December 1984, Hong Kong became the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China on 1 July 1997. In this agreement, China has promised that, under its "one country, two systems" formula, China's socialist economic system will not be practiced in Hong Kong and that Hong Kong will enjoy a high degree of autonomy in all matters except foreign and defense affairs for the next 50 years.

It's free! Save it. Transnational Corporations and Business Networks: Hong Kong Firms in the ASEAN Region. By Henry Wai-chung Yeung. London: Routledge, 1998. Yeung does a great service in forcing us to consider the possibilities in the organization of economic activity. While most of us are locked into a markets and/or hierarchies calculus-and a few are moving from this vantage point toward network possibilities-Yeung has elected to study intra-, inter-, and extracorporate networks from ground zero. This pursuit, shared in this book and born out of his thesis under Peter Dicken, represents the culmination of years of research by a promising scholar in the early stages of academic life. Density of presentation varies greatly, from passages of statistics to rich case studies of the participants engaged in these relational networks. For me, the plethora of percentages on economic activity, though enlightening, was not as enjoyable as the transcribed accounts by those at the helm of these transnational corporations. There is ample material and attention to detail to keep the ardent empiricist content, as well as synthesis of settings (firm, industry, region, level of economic development) and perspectives (sociological, economic, political) to satisfy a well-read and interdisciplinary audience. The book is remarkable in both depth and coverage the latter demanded perhaps not by choice but by edict of the subject matter. At any event, Yeung is successful in examining and ultimately conveying a treatise on this collage of individuals comprising networks of transnational corporations, in turn embedded in an economic landscape of complex connections.

Dr. Marc Faber Browse related articles Hong Kong: rise and decline of a great City Dr Faber sees historical parallels between the SARS and earlier diseases which decimated great cities, though economic forces unleashed by the fall of communism have more to do with the decline of Hong Kong as a great city. Hong Kong: Thursday, May 08 - 2003 at 15:24 That the world's economic geography changes from time to time is nothing new and has been a common feature of human progress and development throughout the ages. Herodotus already observed in the 5th century BC that, 'the cities that were formerly great, have most of them become insignificant; and such as are at present powerful, were weak in olden times'. In fact, it is remarkable how uneven economic development has been since ancient times with a great number of cities, countries and civilizations having flourished and decayed - but at different times and in different regions of the world. In early history the major clusters of wealth such as Thebes, Babylon, Persepolis Nineveh, Bactria, and Samarkand were mostly located around the Nile, Euphrates and Tigris rivers and along the Silk Road. However, with the rise of the seafaring Phoenician trading empire a shift in the centers of prosperity and power toward the Mediterranean Sea took place, which led at different times to the rise of cities like Athens, Tyre, Carthage, Alexandria, Rome, and Constantinople, and finally culminated in the 15th century with the first centers of capitalism - the Italian trading cities of Venice, Florence, Pisa and Genoa.

88. Why Singapore And Hong Kong Trade Freely Singapore and hong kong have been the most open economies in the world during in hong kong and Singapore has been offered in terms of their geography. http://www.columbia.edu/~ap2231/ET/et27-june01.htm

Back to the Main ET Page Why did Singapore and Hong Kong Escape Protection? Arvind Panagariya Singapore and Hong Kong have been the most open economies in the world during the past fifty years. While the former went through a brief import-substitution period during 1960s, the latter has been entirely free of trade barriers throughout this period. How do we explain this success of the two economies during a period when all other developing countries found themselves resorting to protection? The commonest answer to this question is that the domestic market in Singapore and Hong Kong was too small. Reliance on exports was a natural response to this small size of the internal market. Though plausible sounding, the late economist Bela Balassa correctly argued that it fails to stand closer scrutiny. Balassa reminded that with a population of 2 million in 1950 and relatively high per capita income derived from trading activities, Hong Kong, China had a larger domestic market for manufactured goods than the majority of the developing countries. Yet, many of these latter countries embarked on industrialisation behind high protective barriers. For example, Tunisia had a home market smaller than that of Hong Kong, China but it went on to establish small local plants to serve the domestic market behind a protective wall that remained in existence for decades.

MIT Foshan Planning Workshop introduction foshan today regional context ... South Side Regional Context : Geography and Economy Geography and Economy Culture Transportation Water Foshan City is located at the center of Guangdong Province, at the inland apex of the Pearl River Delta, less than 50km from Guangzhou, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Zhuhai, Zaoqing and Dongguan, and just over 100km from Macao and Hong Kong. Formed by the confluence of three rivers as they run to the South China Sea, the Pearl River Delta occupies an area of some 9,000 square kilometers and has a population of 48 million residents (including Hong Kong and Macao). There is a three-level hierarchy of urban systems in the Pearl River Delta. At the top are two primary cities: Guangzhou and Hong Kong. At the second level are the cities of Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Dongguan, etc. Below these are the urban centers of the 22 county-status cities and about 300 urbanized towns scattered across the region. More than half of the region's population is concentrated in three city clusters that form an approximate isosceles triangle. At the apex of the triangle is the Guangzhou/Foshan cluster. At a distance of about 120 kilometers from the apex are the Hong Kong/Shenzhen cluster to the southeast, and the Macao/Zhuhai cluster to the southwest. A pattern of urban development is presently emerging along both the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong corridor, and the Guangzhou-Zhuhai-Macao corridor. Even while Hong Kong operated as a separate country, China's Pearl River Delta region was closely linked to Hong Kong through their relationship in trade and commerce. Since the implementation of the "Open Door" policy in Mainland China in the late 1970s, a large number of Hong Kong manufacturers relocated factories to the PRD region which is known for comparatively low operational and labor costs. This added to the phenomenon of "Front Shop, Back Factory" economic cooperation in the region. As a result, Hong Kong's economy has been transformed from a labor-intensive, light-industry oriented center to a major regional financial and logistic hub with service industries making up its current economic foundation.

AudioVideo Thursday, 1 June, 2000, 11:13 GMT 12:13 UK Former Hong Kong governor dies Hong Kong: From trading post to key commercial centre The former Hong Kong governor, Murray MacLehose, who first raised the issue of handing over the territory with Beijing, has died aged 82 at his home in Scotland. As the British governor of the former colony from 1971 to 1982, Lord MacLehose oversaw its development from a trading post into an international city and one of the key commercial centres in Asia. He was widely credited with helping Hong Kong prosper, but critics accused him of being too friendly towards China and failing to introduce a democratic system of government into the territory. Hong Kong reverted to Chinese rule in 1997 Lord MacLehose summed up his opposition to full elections, saying: "If the Communists won, that would be the end of Hong Kong. If the nationalists won, that would bring in the Communists," according to Britain's Daily Telegraph. He later admitted that his opposition to introducing full democracy was "the sort of thing one looks back at and wonders whether one should have done it". But he maintained he still thought he had been right.
