It represents more than 800 member companies and 2,000 members, most of them senior business executives. Maisano has lived in Hong Kong since the 1980s. He said its return to the motherland has resulted in greater integration with the mainland's economy. "The business opportunities that have opened up on the mainland have benefited Hong Kong greatly in areas of finance, investment and trade. American businesses have also enjoyed these benefits," Maisano said. He hailed the "one country, two systems" formula as a big success. "It is the first time such a system has ever been tried and created," Maisano said. The system recognizes Hong Kong's unique history under 150 years of British rule, its laws and currency. It is also allowed a high degree of autonomy . "I have heard some businessmen call it an ultra high level of autonomy," Maisano said.
