The last 25 years is not a good period to judge how Hong Kong was doing after handing because there were still tons of British taking instruction from UK still holding important positions there like the Chief of Police and many others. These people were there obstructing the smooth transition and possibly involved in the recent Umbrella movement and deadly riots that brought the country to a standstill.

A better and fair period to compare would be the next 25 years......
