Hong Kong International Rankings

Like I said before in a previous post, I am proud to tell people that I am from Hong Kong. I recently found the following table in Answers.com listing various organizations that did rankings on countries and regions around the world. After looking at the table, I found it to be very accurate portrait of Hong Kong.
