We should build on these strengths so Hong Kong can become better established. Otherwise, Shanghai is going to take over. This is another major barrier. There is a real will to promote and market Hong Kong as a high-tech center to overseas investors. If people still focus on these kinds of asset prices, it would make it very difficult for Hong Kong to survive.
People are still quite keen on making short-term profit, in speculating.
The point is whether the government has the resources to re-educate the people of Hong Kong, down to high schools. A lot of state-owned enterprises will disappear because of their inability to compete. That will create business opportunities for China's private sector and for foreign investors. The bigger impact will be in rice, grains, wheat, petrochemicals and steel. The opportunities for consumer electronics companies will come from the huge domestic market.
