| Abstract | Encouraged by China's economic liberalization, Chinese authorities from the central government to the townships rushed to Hong Kong to set up companies. These companies have become a formidable force, "buying back" Hong Kong before the official handover. Tzong-Biau Lin, dean and professor of economics at Taiwan's National Chung Cheng University, and Kan Chak-Yuen, lecturer at the Department of Economics and Finance, City University of Hong Kong, retrace the history of these mainland firms. |
