HONG KONG
Points to Make
Canada takes a close interest in Hong Kong's continued and economic prosperity and political stability;
Gradual political change in Hong Kong is necessary if political disruption is to be avoided;
Prosperous well educated people understandably want a greater
share in running their own affairs, and;
Hong Kong works so well not only because of its capitalist economic model, but because the market economy operates within
the framework of a tolerant society and the rule of law;
If the international community begin to think that Hong Kong's
law and order to public administration are under threat, they
will soon move their money elsewhere.
