Abstract | Their combined wealth is thought to be more than $26 billion - roughly equal to the foreign reserves of France, minus its gold holdings. They are the members of the Better Hong Kong Foundation: tycoons who say there is too much gloomy talk about the territory's future. To combat that, each of the 20 trustees has contributed $647,000 to a fighting fund to boost confidence ahead of the 1997 transfer to Chinese rule. |
