Doubt it...
The article also mentions:
"Massive asset
inflation and damage to Hong
Kong's competitiveness has, after
all, been incurred in return for the
stability provided by pegging the
currency."

HK has painted themselves into a corner. I don't think they can buy themselves out of this one. Japan has already been there/done that.

The last paragraph asks:
"f it is necessary to risk
the integrity of the entire financial
system to defend the currency
regime the question arises: why
keep it?"

Why indeed?

HK is bound to unpeg, don't you agree?
