Facing the dangers, relishing the opportunities

Article Abstract:

China's takeover of Hong Kong presents both risks and opportunities for the business community. On the one hand, businesses face the potential dangers of the weakening of the rule of law, the demise of a level playing field and increased corruption. On the other hand, they continue to enjoy Hong Kong's status as the unparallelled financial and services center in Asia, and have gained access to the enormous Chinese market. A number of foreign firms with Asian operations have already started to move their regional headquarters from Hong Kong to Beijing because of such advantages as easier access to suppliers, customers, Chinese executives and bankers, and decision-makers. However the greatest opportunity, as well as the greatest challenge, for Hong Kong lies in its ability to raise China's standards of business, wealth and law to its own level.
