| Abstract | President Clinton's trip to Hong Kong, the first by a serving United States (US) president, is history. The vital relationship between China and the US was strengthened, President Jiang demonstrated a greater openness regarding human rights issues, President Clinton expressed general approval of Hong Kong's transition, and the US and China agreed to work together to promote Asian economic stability. This is all very good news. The article analyses the significance of the trip and its positive implications for the Special Administrative Region (SAR)'s medium-to long-term future. |
