All Hail Our Galtian Overlords !!!

Ex-TV journalist turned free market shill John Stossel, on a paradise we hard-luck democratic saps should consider:
Hong Kong doesn't even have democracy, but because its rulers protected people's personal safety and property and left them otherwise free, Hong Kong thrived. In 50 years, it went from horrible poverty to income levels that are among the highest in world. Prosperity, thanks to economic freedom.

We should try that here.
Cause if there's one thing the U.S. should be emulating more of, it's the political and economic policies of totalitarian China....

But isn't it the case that Hong Kong enjoys incredible freedom from mainland China? It's not exactly the case that arguing for Hong Kong is arguing for Chinese totalitarianism, is it?
