Facilitating Fortunes vs. Protecting People in China's Richest Cities

Lynn T. White

Chinese Economy, 2002, vol. 35, issue 6, 68-88

Abstract: This tale of two cities is also a story of antinomies. Hong Kong and Shanghai are the most modern cities in the political system with the world's oldest continuous heritage. These are metropolises with "first world" economies, but their recent prosperity depends on quick development of the neighboring Pearl and Yangzi river deltas, where labor is hired at "third world" wages. Each of their social policies reflects this situation.
