With Peter Snow in Hong Kong and Kirsty Wark in the studio.
Following the handover of Hong Kong to China, tonight's programme assesses the prospects for the former colony's continued growth as an international trading centre.
Mark Urban asks what effect the transition will have on democracy in China. There's an interview with Hong Kong's last governor Chris Patten, and pictures of China's People's Liberation Army crossing the border into Hong Kong.

The musical element blends classical, pop, rock and western jazz with Taoist funeral music and popular songs. while a video montage reflects on the significance of the decade and includes film footage of the war in Vietnam, Carnaby Street, and Red Square parades.
