Hong Kong city profile
AbstractOn 1 July 1997, Hong Kong reverted from being a British crown colony to being a special administrative region of China. Unfortunately this reversion coincided with regional and global economic recessions that have exacted a toll in economic, social and political terms. Although Hong Kong is still a bustling city, with influences far beyond its crowded shores, it is going through a period of self-evaluation and questioning as to the role it has to play in today’s world, and particularly with respect to its level of integration with mainland China. This profile focuses on the issue of whether it can remain an independent city with its own unique identity or whether it will become just another city in China.
