BEING PLANNED BY THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH MAGAZINE.
Given t Sir EY
2. HEREWITH, 186 WORDS (14 SHORT OF THE LIMIT), VIZ:
THE STRENGTH OF HONG KONG LIES IN ITS PEOPLE. THEIR RESILIENCE, ENTERPRISE AND INDUSTRY HAS BUILT MODERN HONG KONG: ITS GOVERNMENT
MUST BE RESPONSIVE FOR IT IS ACCOUNTABLE TO THEM. IT ENCOURAGES ·
FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND USES A HIGHLY DEVELOPED SYSTEM OF CONSULTATION TO ENSURE THAT POLICIES AND DECISIONS SATISFY A
QUESTIONING AND VOCAL PUBLIC.
HONG KONG'S PRINCIPLE OF NOT INTERVENING IN AN OPEN MARKET
ECONOMY STIMULATES COMPETITION IN DOMESTIC AND WORLD MARKETS
AND HAS CONTRIBUTED TO AN IMPRESSIVE GROWTH RATE AGAINST A
BACKGROUND OF A STEADILY IMPROVING INFRASTRUCTURE AND AN
ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH NEW TECHNIQUES AND GOOD INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS FLOURISH.
STABLE ADMINISTRATION AND DEPENDABLE LAWS PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK FOR
INVESTMENT, AND CONTINUING EXPANSION AND IMPROVEMENT OF OUR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS ENHANCES OUR PROFESSIONAL INDUSTRIAL AND TECHNICAL SKILLS TO MEET NEW CHALLENGES.
HONG KONG IS A PLACE WHERE EAST MEETS WEST AND RACES AND LANGUAGES INTERMINGLE IN HARMONY. INCREASED LEISURE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
WIDE RANGE OF MODERN FACILITIES ENABLE ITS PEOPLE TO ENJOY A DIVERSE RANGE OF RECREATIONAL AND CULTURAL ACTIVITIES. IT IS A
CITY FULL OF VITALITY IN A SETTING OF GREAT NATURAL BEAUTY.
