There are many similar movements. Take, for example, shenzhen's new social experiment. Some think it is to merge with Hong Kong to become a new international financial center and research and development center. International capital can enjoy both the financial freedom they are familiar with and the security of the Chinese government. There is a financial firewall between the rest of China and Shenzhen. China is really running the two systems in parallel.
Of course, they have to be non-political. China creates a safe and free harbor for businesses that only want to make money.
