LJAR Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 This is a Short video well worth watching. The essential point is that China had to give in to the fact that capitalism works (by and large) because Hong Kong was on its doorstep proving it wrong for 100 years. The Idea is to create many more cities like Hong Kong around the world so that they can exert a similar influence on places like Latin America and Africa. The devil is in the detail of course - but imagine the impact it could have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a contrast with the negative and Luddite views so common (prevalent?) in Britain. Thanks for posting it LJAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
