Abstract: U.S. interests in Hong Kong are extensive and have grown along with the territory's prosperity and role in the international community. These interests will be maintained as sovereignty over Hong Kong shifts from Britain to China, providing that the conditions that have led to Hong Kong's dynamism continue. These include, but are not limited to, considerable autonomy, stability, and prosperity; the presence of a free market system; a favorable attitude toward business; the rule of law, accompanied by the protection of civil liberties and human rights; continued development of open, accountable, and democratic institutions; and cooperation between Hong Kong and foreign law enforcement agencies. The United States has areas of concern but is hopeful that these conditions will be met.
