Celebrate Hong Kong

On September 16, 2008, the Fraser Institute, a Canadian-based think tank and winner of both Fisher and Templeton Awards, will mark the release of its 2008 Economic Freedom of the World Report in Hong Kong at an event appropriately titled “Celebrate Hong Kong”. Hong Kong has consistently ranked high in the Institute’s reports since it began measuring economic freedom. In addition to the press release, the event will also feature an Economic Freedom Symposium, focusing on the topic: “Economic Freedom and China’s Future”, as well as a Gala Dinner.

    Good decision by Fraser Institute to launch the report in HK itself. Such high level event will catch the attention of HK government and help douse any new interventionist plans they might be cooking. HK should remain the living example of the virtue of low taxes, unilateral trade liberalization (and shame many country trade “negotiators” at WTO and WTO bureaucrats themselves) and less-interventionist government.
