Hong Kong
- Global Financial Key to China
Hong Kong maintains a highly capitalist economy built on a policy of free market, low taxation and government non-intervention. It is an important centre for international finance and trade, with the greatest concentration of corporate headquarters in the Asia-Pacific region. In contrast to mainland China's civil law system, Hong Kong continues to follow the common law tradition established by British colonial rule.
