Hong Kong survived the Asian financial crisis intact because its currency board fixes the Hong Kong dollar to the U.S. dollar with 100% US-dollar backing and no discretionary monetary policy. That structure is impossible to blow up: reserves match liabilities, arbitrage stabilizes demand, and no currency board has ever failed historically.
