Resumen
The purpose of this paper is to discuss a topic that is somewhat recent, with outcomes that are still uncertain and hard to predict. The topic is the return of Hong Kong to China on July 1, 1997. It has only been 15 years since that date, and the impact is not completely clear yet. What the authors are aiming to do is to collect enough data from the literature, to be able to do an evaluation of both of these economies, before and after 1997. In attempting to do this an extensive discussion of both of the economies will be done, and it will be supplemented by the two GDPs, the Growth Rates and any other figures that might be relevant for this purpose.
