You can't build too well in the leased territories (at least not power plants, its pretty mountainous).
Sources for Hong Kong not being dependent on the China trade pre 1979 (and exclude manufactured exports please, they aren't relevant today)?
And as for desalination, that's the cost of energy per cubic meter of water. Guess how much money it would take to build enough desalination plants to supply some 7 million people? Furthermore, that 43 cubic meters per capita annual consumption applies only to households. If you build thermal power plants in the SAR, they also need water.
