The legacy of Hong Kong is economic and personal freedom,
protected by the rule of
law. That legacy has made the people of Hong Kong among the richest in the world. Will
China emulate Hong Kong's success as China becomes
more integrated into the global economy and as it adapts to WTO standards? Or will China
fail to develop a full market economy? And what role will Hong Kong play in this process?
At the Cato Institute-Hong Kong Centre for Economic Research conference, leading
policymakers, scholars, entrepreneurs, and journalists will discuss China's financial future and the institutional changes that still need to
be implemented in the wake of China's accession to the WTO.
The daylong conference will also consider the impact of technology, trade, and capital
flows on the scope of government and how China can tap new sources of capital by
adopting a Chilean-style pension system.
