But it shows how any city can be a financial hub but years of development to become a technological oasis ie. Every single coastal city. And that HK has failed to achieve anything that makes itself special in terms of output which resulted in the downfall

totally agreed.

@Ray Leigh The National Security Law for HK was absolutely necessary to restore peace and stability broken by the youngsters rioters. You think America doesn't have National Security Law?

It not to late work . appreciate the one country and two system and work together with your sister brother to get the share and boost your economi your people will hv better life. You just like Singapore no resources and no military all surrounded by your sister and brother. Put all the traitors in jail. Your garmoment hv to work fast too slow. You hv lost your financial hub. Look at Singapore still maintain financial hup .

No, HK has been on the decline for years now. The instability and economic isolation of 2019 and 2020 may have accelerated this, but in the end it was the laissez-faire Capitalist system primarily driven by an unsustainable real-estate industry, and the self-serving, short-sighted wealthy elite ruling over the city that caused its decline. It also didn't help that instead of accepting further integration and economic assistance from the central government, Hong Kongers maintained a xenophobic, localist mentality towards any mainland interventions (a carryover from their British colonial era) and instead of adapting to a changing China, they stuck to their failing economic system. In the end though, a small one-time fishing village will never outpace the greater Chinese economy forever, no matter what rose-tinted nostalgia glasses Hong Kong elitists wear.

@Ray Leigh Security law was to STOP CIA infiltration in HK youth. China shouldn't HELP HK because HK isn't China. HK is independent. All China can provide is Security and Rule of Law. Everything else is up the HK and it's people.

It is possible for Shenzhen’s economy to be greater than Hong Kong since their population is already greater.

HK was the lucky middle man back in the 80s and 90s while shenzhen was still in early development and China began to open up to the market. This was all temporary and have nothing to do with the Brit. Even at the height of HK prosperity, only the capitalists in HK were rich, the majority of the population remained poor. The Brit thought democracy would be wrong for HK. For entire time HK under British rule, there was not a hint of democracy.

It also has the advantage of being a visa-free zone for most advanced countries. This makes it easier to do business with Hong Kong. Hopefully at some point China will have that policy as well.

I disagree about the made in Hong Kong part. For one, Hong Kong barely manufactures anything in the 21st century to begin with. Most of its economy is service based. Besides, the labeling of “Made in Hong Kong” is only prohibited for goods exported to the US. It has no effect on goods exported elsewhere or intended for domestic consumption. In other words, the effect is next to none. The nail in the coffin for HK is actually the rapid rise of several Chinese cities like Shenzhen and Shanghai that could replace the role of Hong Kong in the future should the local political situation worsens.
