POLITICSAug 22Hong Kong must abandon superiority complex over mainland ChinaAfter many years in Hong Kong, with some sadness, I left the city for greener pastures, though my link with it remains an emotional one.

My experience was the opposite. The young customs officers at Shenzhen Bay answered my phone calls, gave candid advice and treated my situation – a single parent relocating with a...South China Morning Post

These questions have acquired a particular piquancy as Hong Kong embraces long-term planning for the first time, attracting criticism from some that it is falling into Chinese-style error. Having been in Asia for 50 years – in Singapore, which I consider a planned economy, and Hong Kong...South China Morning Post
