A year on, pride is scarce in Hong Kong

Article Abstract:

The expected patriotic pride that would characterize the first anniversary of Hong Kong's handover to China in July 1998 was conspicuously absent since the city's economy is debilitated. Political concerns about China have been replaced by uncertainties about how competent the government is in leading the city through its economic woes. Some believe that a British leadership would have been more aggressive in its economic policy.
