[edit] Beliefs

The Lion Rock Institute subscribes to the view that open and free markets, strongly defended property rights, small government, low taxes, and minimal restrictions on the business environment create the best environment for freedom and prosperity.

[edit] Symbolism

In the 1950’s, hundreds of thousands fled turmoil in China. They hoped for freedom and a better life. They settled in droves on the slopes of Hong Kong’s geographical centre – Lion Rock.

“Under the Lion Rock,” a 70’s classic by Roman Tam, tells the story of the people who built Hong Kong. The spirit of a community supported the individual efforts of those seeking freedom and prosperity.

Lion Rock still resonates with the people of Hong Kong and symbolizes the strength of the people, hope for freedom, individual courage and our aspiration to build a prosperous future.
