Panama was the closest thing to Hong Kong that USA had in way of of a free market zone. With that came off-shore money laundering and asset seclusion. Who burned all those investors in Panamanian registry and why is a mystery, but that key aspect is over.

As USA discusses building walls, for precisely the same three reasons the Soviet block built walls, a New Hong Kong in USA would be, although independent, still somewhat impacted by the hegemon. This story is instructive.
