Netyčia užtikau 1995 metų Fortune magazine straipsnį, patalpintą CNN Money puslapyje. Apie Honkongo perleidimą iš Britanijos į KLR rankas. Šiaip įdomi perspektyva, kuri leidžia susidaryti aiškesnę nuomonę apie tai, kaip iki šiol veikia didelė dalis Vakarų žiniasklaidos.

Visas straipsnis, žvelgiant iš 2013 perspektyvos, pilnas gana komiškai skambančių teiginių.

In fact, the naked truth about Hong Kong's future can be summed up in two words: It's over.
