SHENZHEN, a MODEL for HONDURAS? – VisualPolitik EN

Shenzhen, also known as the Chinese Silicon Valley, is one of the cities that has grown the most in the last three decades. Thanks to this, Shenzhen has gone from being a small fishing village to becoming a megapolis.

In this success story, the fact that Deng Xiaoping promoted China’s first Special Economic Zone in this city, located very close to Hong Kong, was an important factor.

The Special Economic Zones are places where different regulations apply, to those that rule the rest of the country. In China’s case, they played a key role in their development process.

A few years ago, Honduras, one of the poorest and most violent countries in Latin America, began promoting a project that would create autonomous cities and spaces throughout the country. Places with their own rules, their own police, their own courts and their own taxes.

However, is a country like Honduras really capable of promoting such a change? Can Honduras emulate Shenzhen’s success? We’ll tell you all about it in this video.

In This Story: Hong Kong

Hong Kong, officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (HKSAR), is a metropolitan area and special administrative region of the People’s Republic of China on the eastern Pearl River Delta of the South China Sea. With over 7.5 million residents of various nationalities in a 1,104-square-kilometre (426 sq mi) territory, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated places in the world.

Hong Kong became a colony of the British Empire after the Qing Empire ceded Hong Kong Island at the end of the First Opium War in 1842. The colony expanded to the Kowloon Peninsula in 1860 after the Second Opium War and was further extended when Britain obtained a 99-year lease of the New Territories in 1898. The whole territory was transferred to China in 1997. As a special administrative region, Hong Kong maintains separate governing and economic systems from that of mainland China under the principle of “one country, two systems”.
