"An accountable system, under which people are
responsible for the acts or omissions of those they supervise, is a valuable tool in the fight to eliminate bribery and the opportunities for corruption."

How will PRC enterprises operating in Hong Kong fit into this paradigm? Not well or easily, I imagine. This could present a problem for Hong Kong.
Jurisdiction and Rules:
I fear a form of competing jurisdiction over PRC businesses in Hong Kong. The influence of PRC businesses in Hong Kong is substantial. A good example of this was apparent in 1988: -

There can be no doubt that so far it has at least contributed to stability, and therefore has increased the credibility of the precept 9f maintaining Hong Kong's 'prosperity and stability'.
The rules which govern them must, I believe, be Hong Kong and
not CCP based.
Could levels of PRC corruption go so far as to affect "lifestyle" in Hong Kong?
