Hong Kong's real gross domestic product (GDP) growth for 2019 was estimated to register the first annual decline since 2009. The economic slowdown and recession in Hong Kong were driven by both weakening domestic and external demand, aggravated by local social unrest which had disrupted social stability, transportation and commerce. Hong Kong's economic prospects hinge on how its sociopolitical situation and the US–China trade tensions will evolve. Despite short-term headwinds, Hong Kong's competitiveness in the long term will likely remain strong if it maintains its unique institutional space and advantages in bridging mainland China and the rest of the global economy.

The infamous Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 ostracized persons of Chinese descent and foreclosed the possibility for Chinese persons who were not born in the United States to obtain naturalization. This Article uncovers the story of Lawrence Klindt Kentwell, a Eurasian of English and Chinese descent who spent his formative years in Hawaii. Because of his Chinese blood, he was excluded from local politics in Hawaii and had no chance at entering the legal profession in the United States. The raw racism he experienced in the United States compelled him to identify strongly with his Chinese roots, leading him to leave his adopted home for good.

According to Shen and Onishi, China's economy is predicted to reach zero-growth in 2040 and 2033, respectively. Both studies have attracted significant attention in academia. However, their theoretical models have two inadequacies. First, the Euler equations used to depict the dynamic path of the economy are not derived. Second, the labor growth rate is not incorporated into the model. These inadequacies make their empirical projections arbitrary under strict assumptions. Therefore, we derive the Euler equations of the model using dynamic formulations by incorporating the labor growth rate into our model. Using the Euler equations, we depict the path of the Chinese economy from 2009 to 2050. The result indicates that, in 2026, China's GDP would surpass US GDP. Moreover, around 2050, China's GDP is projected to be almost 2.22 times higher than US GDP, while the GDP per capita will be half the US GDP per capita.

AbstractThis article attempts to reveal how a typical first generation Chinese American activist set out to go to law school to learn the skill set to help fight against racial prejudice directed at the Chinese in the early twentieth century. It examines how Hua Chuen Mei, a first-generation Chinese American lawyer was educated and trained in America; it primarily traces his undergraduate and law school education at Columbia and New York University Law School from 1910–1914 to show how he overcame the odds and excelled academically to complete his undergraduate and law degree programs with flying colors. It revisits his extracurricular activities to understand what motivated early Chinese immigrants like him to seek legal education, and what issues were uppermost in the mind of a typical Chinese American law student in that era.
