Since the return of HK is a sure thing, people in HK are almost well-prepared, though there are still too many things they couldn't predict. HK has been dealt with China much more than with British, and also China has influenced HK more than British does, so I believe there won't be big problems for HK to adjust herself to the "new" government after July 1st. The economic power of HK is certainly the biggest deal, and China has no reason to do screw it up. I think, China is going to keep HK the way it goes like now, in order to have a smooth takeover of Macau in 1999, and even of the biggest uncertainty, Taiwan. HK, Macau, and Taiwan all have strong economic power, and poor political power. It's also predicted that all of them will reunite with China someday. So I think we should not just see the return of HK individually, maybe we can take them as a sequence. Birdie --- from list marxism-intro-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
