The book examines the complex reintegration of Hong Kong into China following the 1997 handover, highlighting the rapid economic transformation that has occurred since the 1980s. It discusses the influx of investment from Hong Kong and Taiwan, which, combined with China's vast labor resources, propelled the nation to become a significant global trading power. The narrative also addresses the challenges posed by corruption, intellectual property violations, and the emergence of a unique "socialist market economy" blending elements of communism and capitalism.
