The Economic that the 13 colonies and Hong Kong colony faced were only a few the same. Trading was one of the most important business for both the 13 colonies and Hong Kong colony. Ships were the transport for trading.
For the difference of economic of the 13 colonies and Hong Kong, there were many examples. In Hong Kong, ships were not only a transport anymore. Ships could be public transport. There were also airplane and cars. The large scale modern bank in Hong Kong Shanghai Bank has built up. Bank helped Hong Kong to develop to be the finicial affair of Asia. Hong Kong colony has free trading. They could have trading with every country and every goods and Britain won't control them. Hong Kong colony got free economic than the 13colonies. The 13 colonies were not free on their economic. They could only have trading with Britain. Also they needed to pay high tax. They didn't have a bank to help them to generate their money.
The Political Contexts were different. There was one person at the top of the power and took care all of the things. Therefore power were not totally seperate. People cut down their long hair because the Qing dynasty was not the one who control them. Britain didn't care about their hair style. People got their freedom of hairstyle. The 13 colonies were not free when Britain controlled them. They needed to obey the Britain. Britain ruled them with absolute power. They had less freedom than the Hong Kong colony.
