The British no longer rule Hong Kong, but don't tell Jardine Matheson Holdings (JMH), which governs the many interests of its affiliate Jardine Strategic Holdings, one of the oldest of the Hong Kong "hongs" (diversified trading companies) and one of the few still in British hands. JMH's subsidiaries include Jardine Pacific and Jardine Motors Group, Asian supermarket operator Dairy Farm, and Hongkong Land, which owns prime real estate in Hong Kong. Other businesses include financial services, hotels (Mandarin Oriental), construction, mining, and transport services. Members of the Keswick family, descendants of the co-founder William Jardine, control JMH and Jardine Strategic through a complex ownership structure.
