This is sheer idiocy. Capitalism is a world system. No generalizations can be made about Hong Kong unless you trace its historical roots in the global banking system. The "success" of places like Hong Kong or Switzerland are dialectically related to the failure of Indonesia and the former Yugoslavia.
