Another interesting question from Daibosatsu.  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.
