		Hong Kong’s economic and political history has been primarily determined by its geographical location. The territory of Hong Kong is comprised of two main islands (Hong Kong Island and Lantau Island) and a mainland hinterland.
		Hong Kong was profoundly affected by the disastrous events in Mainland China in the inter-war period.
		The economic development of Hong Kong is unusual in a variety of respects.
