Chicago Tribune overall comment: "What a delight to find such a splendid spot on Earth

where the people are free, prosperous and productive. Bustling around Hong Kong is a singular experience. This tiny island, with only 5,000 peasant farmers when the British took it over in 1842, is devoid of all natural resources save its remarkable people, now some 6 million strong. Coming from families which fled China, they have fashioned a no-unemployment, high growth, low-tax, high education, low-pollution haven. Everything's up to date in Hong Kong and everything works in Hong Kong."

The Managing Director of the multi-million dollar Great Eagle Property developer, Li Yink Yek told Newsweek, "I have looked around the world and found that Hong Kong is the healthiest and best place to invest in."
