AbstractThe notion 'Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong' is not restricted to the policy-making power of the people of Hong Kong in the political sphere. It also encompasses public knowledge of, and participation in, the monitoring of the huge assets which are controlled by the government but belong to the people of Hong Kong. People know little about these assets, even as professional accountants. The transfer of government assets should be treated as an important part of Hong Kong's change in sovereignty. Effective ways to strengthen the monitoring of public bodies and trading funds must be found.
