 Hong Kong - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Hong Kong
Formerly part of China, Hong Kong Island was occupied by Britain in 1841, during the first of the Opium Wars, and ceded by China under the 1842 Treaty of Nanking.
Hong Kong's economy expanded rapidly during the corresponding period and the colony became one of Asia's major commercial, financial, and industrial centres, boasting the world's busiest container port from 1987.
Hong Kong's incoming government of April 1997 confirmed its critics' worst fears by clearly stating that draconian curbs would be imposed on the operations of political organizations and the right to protest after the handover of the colony to China at the end of June.

 Jonathan Power, Hong Kong won't get democracy in 2007   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
LONDON - When nine years ago the British lowered the Union Jack on their last remaining important colony, Hong Kong, Chris Patten, the governor, buried his face in his hands for the entire world to see and felt the profoundest sentiment a proud and ambitious politician could experience - failure.
It was indeed a personal failure to be added to his other great misfortune, the timing of elections back home in Britain that made it impossible for him to become prime minister and to fulfil his other ambition, to take Britain into the euro zone.
And, even if Thatcher with her forthright common sense could see what others couldn't and that Hong Kong had to be returned to the mainland, she was as blinkered as any past generation in failing to see the importance of implanting democracy.

Bok — who has been a lucid critic of the corrupting influence of big money on universities — can, with a single gesture of unassailable virtue, light a fire under the increasingly decadent realm of elite colleges, instantly restoring Harvard to a position of moral leadership in society.
And Harvard's cachet among well-off students might also rise: They could now be sure they won their place competing against the very best students, not just the other wealthy ones.
Bok, who drove a Volkswagen Beetle to work when he ran Harvard from 1971 to 1991, is just the man to bring the school down to earth.
