The former British colony's high degree of autonomy from Beijing, including an independent judiciary, form the bedrock on which it has flourished as a global hub. It has about 4,000 people in the city. Hong Kong will embrace opportunities created by China's plan to integrate Hong Kong, Macau and part of Guangdong in a development zone, Lam said. The city "will serve China's needs while injecting fresh vigour into Hong Kong's economy." The total number of licenses it issued was up 1.7% at the end of March, compared with nine months earlier, and just shy of an all-time peak in 2019.
The large neighbouring city of Beijing has an independent weekday morning newspaper.
