[quote=BOBERT,377944]This debate was originally about whether India or China would reach superpower status first. It was about the relative merits of communism and democracy for the advancement of national economies. Marrie was insinuating that Hong Kongs rapid development in the last 50 years was due to communism. Of course you are factually correct Dodger. Prior to 1999 Hong Kong was, as you say, a British colony and not a democracy. However it was most definately not communist either. It was controlled by a democratically elected government, Britain. It was controlled by the rule of law and international financiers were comfortable investing there. Therefore I don't think it's unreasonable to say that Kong Kong was ruled by a democracy prior to 1999.[/quote]
