It also benefits from locating on the eastern Pearl River Delta of the South China Sea. With over 7.5 million people of various nationalities in a 1,104-square-kilometre territory. Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated places in the world. Then it provides sufficient man-power.

Following British ruled from 1841 to 1997. China resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong on 1 July 1997. Although it is a special administrative region of China. It still follows English common law, which means it recognises trusts as a concept. 

Government Structure

The Basic Law is a national law of the PRC and Hong Kong’s constitutional document. It is the corner stone under “One Country, Two System” principle. Therefore, the city is able to exercise a high degree of autonomy and enjoy executive, legislative and independent judicial power. 

Very probably, the territory has the most laissez-faire economy in the world. The government’s policy is strictly non-interventionist. Government controls and disclosure requirements on businesses are minimal. For the private companies, Hong Kong only requires the minimal capital. Whereas, for company incorporating as a wholly-owned subsidiary, Hong Kong also requires the minimal financial statement.
