The Chief Executive must lead one of the world's richest cities, with per capita income of more than 22,000 per year, home to the world's eighth-largest stock market and the second-largest in Asia. It's a place populated by moe than 6 million people who have the Chinese flair for entrepreneurship but also a deep-rooted reverence for Wester rule of law, flee flow of information, judicial independence, and a modern civil service. |
