摘要

香港在英國的治理下逐漸成爲一個世界城市。然而，政權的移轉對香港仍造成了一些不利的影響；一國兩制政策使香港無法完全納入中國的體系，1998年的金融危機和2003年的SARS疫病，更重挫香港的世界城市形象。過去10年來，受到大陸對經濟復甦的關鍵因素影響，香港的經濟表現下滑；香港在逐步大陸化的趨勢中，付出了失去其國際化的代價。在面對其競爭對手積極參與區域和雙邊自由貿易協定，以及大陸在自由貿易政策上的動作，香港卻未採取任何協商舉動，或是建立其1997之前的形象。本文主張香港必須把握機會，並且有效率地處理環俟之中國和美國全球體系。

Hong Kong became a world city under British rule. Yet; its change of sovereignty has meant certain disadvantages for Hong Kong; the territory's one-country two-systems policy denies Hong Kong full incorporation into China; and the financial crisis of 1998 and the SARS epidemic of 2003 were disastrous for Hong Kong's world city image.
In the last decade; economic performance in Hong Kong has deteriorated with the Mainland factor crucial for economic recovery. This has further mainland-ized Hong Kong at the expense of internationalization. Despite its competitor's moves for regional and bilateral free trade agreements and the Mainland's shift in free trade policy; Hong Kong has yet to negotiate or build on its pre-1997 image. Hong Kong must seize its opportunities and deal effectively with the Chinese and US global systems that envelop it.
