Hong Kong's economic success does not rest only on the hard-working citizens and smart entrepreneurs. Its prosperity reveals the fundamental, rational-strategic relations between China and Britain. Different from other analyses on Hong Kong's political economy, this article takes a rational strategic approach to examine the unique characteristic of Hong Kong as a strategic arena (in 1949-68) with different meanings for different agents. The main theme is to contextualise the economic path and domestic economic policy orientation of the small colony by situating it internationally, and relating it with rational considerations of governments of China and Britain. The two governments exerted rational-strategic influences on Hong Kong after careful assessment of the particular situation and feasible alternative. Each of them took Hong Kong as a strategic arena with the expectation to optimize one's own payoff. |
