Hong Kong has remained the global metropolis for Asia since its
founding in the 1840s following the Opium Wars between Britain and
China. David Meyer traces its vibrant history from the arrival of
the foreign trading firms, when it was established as one of the
leading Asian business centres, to its celebrated handover to China
in 1997. Throughout this period, Hong Kong has been prominent as a
pivotal meeting place of the Chinese and foreign social networks of
capital and as such has been China's window on to the world
economy, dominating other financial centers such as Singapore and
Tokyo. Looking into the future, the author presents an optimistic
view of Hong Kong in the twenty-first century, challenging those
who predict its decline under Chinese rule. This accessible and
broad-ranging look at the story of Hong Kong's success will
interest anyone concerned with its past, present and future.
