520 3 _aThe remarkable smoothness of Hong Kong`s hanover from liberal democratic Britain to communist China was not forecast because commtators underestimated the role of Administrative Officers (AOs) as the governing elite under both sovereigns.This article is based on a survey of post-1997 AO cvulture by an ex0insider and fnds subtle changes under the stable surface: a reinforced paternalismm more "Confucian"but also "more colonial again/"less accoutability downwards ("just as dedicated to our jobs,but forgetting what they are for"); more caution and conformity upwards. Unexpectedly, the new sovereign seems to interface less than the old, but benifits from lower expectations and favourably double standards, whereas Hong Kong`s government feels colonial governcance elsewhere, the sucess of Hong Kong`s continuing colonial system should not be igonored just because it does not fit Western democratic models
