In Shanghai’s Shadow?

Hong Kong or Shanghai? There are few more predictable conversations around the dinner tables of SAR financial and government sorts than the perennial question of whether Hong Kong will be eclipsed by its northern competitor.

The official line in Hong Kong is that there is room enough for two Chinese financial centers ．Economies like the United States support multiple centers serving specific industry clusters and regions．New York and Chicago compete and complement on each other at the same time, goes the reasoning.

Hong Kong’s advantage is its clean government, predictable and common law based legal environment, and international orientation．The city is wired into the overseas Chinese network by bonds of language and history, has its Guangdong industrial hinterland and will remain the international finance raising centre of China even as Shanghai develops a far larger domestic finance base.

On the “eclipse” side, the case is basically that every great trading port has its day．Just as the Venetian states and Liverpool feel off the trading map as the locus of trade and economic activity shifted, so Hong Kong’s “competitive advantage” has a narrow window．The decline might be relative, but Shanghai’s industrial, entrepreneurial and political power means that must dominate.

Hong Kong well knows the advantage of critical mass over ambitious competitors that protest to try harder．It has had that relationship with Singapore for years．The southern city-state has ambitiously courted fund managers, chip makers and software vendors with subsidies and freebies, but Singapore continues to chase without seriously threatening Hong Kong’s Asian business status.

Recently, through its rebranding efforts, Hong Kong is intending to differentiate the city in the minds of outsiders．That seems a bit silly, but harmless.

In short, it doesn’t matter whether Shanghai rules, as long as Hong Kong does what it does best, rather than ape what it believes a competitor such as Shanghai might do, if and when it becomes the dominant commercial Chinese city.

II. Put the following passage into English. （45 points）

有一位歌手，有一次她唱完了歌，竟没有一个人鼓掌。于是她在开会的时候说道：“掌声究竟能说明什么问题？难道掌声是美？是艺术？是黄金？掌声到底卖几分钱一斤？被观众鼓了几声掌就飘飘然，就忘乎所以，就选成了歌星，就坐飞机，就灌唱片，这简直是胡闹！是对灵魂的腐蚀！你不信，如果我扭起屁股唱黄歌儿，比她们得到的掌声还多！”
