I am no expert, but it seems the non-democratic-but-capitalist system in mainland China, is at least as close to the pre-1997 system in Hong Kong, as it is to the late 20th century Chinese system. Granted, the mainland was already moving that way, but I still think one could argue that the HK system spread to the mainland. As long as you know, that the pre-1997 system in HK was capitalist, not democratic.

- robjan 7y agoThe legal system in HK is based on the UK's system and is the main advantage that HK has always had.
