Hong Kong on the Move

Monday, October 22, 2007 9:00 am - 5:30 pm

On October 22, 2007, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office of Washington, DC (WETO) hosted an all day conference commemorating the 10th Anniversary of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR). The event, entitled "Hong Kong on the Move: American and Hong Kong Perspectives on the First Ten Years of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region", was widely attended by members of the DC policy community, the U.S. government, and the media.

Keynote speakers included John Tsang, financial secretary of the HKSAR, Rep. Donald Manzullo (R-IL), Ronald Arculli, independent and non-executive chairman of the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, and John J. Hamre, CSIS president and CEO. Panelists analyzed political, economic, security, health and cultural developments in Hong Kong over the past 10 years since reunification with mainland China, and their implications for the future.

A video of the conference will be posted as soon as it is available, as will a transcript of the event, and papers delivered by panelists. The papers will be compiled into an edited volume in the CSIS Significant Issues Series, to be released in winter 2008.
