Hong Kong. The self-imposed image of "laissez-faire"
About this book
Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Orientalism / Sinology - Chinese / China, grade: 1, 0, University of Tubingen (Asia-Orient Institute, Department of Chinese and Korean Studies), course: Regional Studies Greater China, language: English, abstract: The former British colony of Hong Kong is frequently cited as a classic example of limited government and free market capitalism. The island is widely considered to be one of the last bastions of free enterprise, and by governmental measures the least regulated marketplace. In many papers, Hong Kong is therefore referred to as a so called "laissez-faire" system. This paper examines to what extent the nature of laissez-faire can in fact be accounted for in colonial but especially post-colonial Hong Kong politics.
