I am from a finance background and believe that Hong Kong is still the finance centre of Asia.

For those not aware, the colony has been repatriated to China under a 1997 agreement between the UK and China. It will in effect rule itself, within the Chinese Republic, for the next 50 years after which time the Chinese will be free to changes laws, etc.

Will there be a weakening of the colony’s worldwide standing in the run up to 2047?
