  Canada's Smart Link in China is Hong Kong

Hong Kong - Asia's business, outward processing and communications hub

Conveniently located in the heart of Asia, foreign direct investment into Hong Kong assures optimal access to Asia from a world-class regional centre. Hong Kong, the world's freest economy, boasts a highly skilled workforce operating in fair and friendly business environment with low taxes and excellent infrastructure.

Hong Kong also provides the service platform through which inward investors can reap the benefits of the manufacturing powerhouse of the world - the Greater Pearl River Delta. New advantages like CEPA (Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement) strengthen Hong Kong's appeal as the gateway to and from the Mainland of China.

Hong Kong is blessed with an invaluable natural resource: its geographical location. Flanking the mouth of the Pearl River Delta (PRD), Hong Kong is perfectly situated for trade with Mainland China; the whole country is our natural hinterland.

For more than a century and a half, Hong Kong has served as the gateway to Mainland China. There is nowhere better than Hong Kong to obtain the expertise, information and facilities needed to tap into the immense Mainland Chinese market.

China's entry to the World Trade Organisation and development of increasingly competitive industries has set the stage for even greater economic expansion.

The Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA), which took effect at the beginning of 2004, provides Hong Kong with additional and exclusive Mainland market access benefits.

The marriage of Hong Kong's world class financial, marketing and technical expertise and sophisticated infrastructure with the mainland's rapidly developing manufacturing and services base has created a win-win situation. Mainland China is now Hong Kong's largest trading partner. Thousands of international companies involved in China trade have chosen to establish their beachhead in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is the obvious spring board into the Mainland market

The Hong Kong Advantage

 

It's Hong Kong's 10th Anniversary



http://www.gov.hk/en/theme/10/index.htm

The 10th Anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is a memorable moment for the country and Hong Kong. In 2007, Hong Kong is celebrating this historic occasion. We are taking the opportunity to review the past and look into the future.

"One Country, Two Systems" was only a concept prior to 1997. In the past ten years, we have successfully turned it into a reality. Within the framework of the Basic Law, the freedom and life style of the Hong Kong people, and the legal, social and economic systems of the territory are preserved. With the perseverance and vibrancy of the Hong Kong people, the territory has risen to the challenges on different fronts. The past decade has seen significant developments in our economy, and we have achieved breakthroughs on many fronts on the basis of close cooperation and integration with the Mainland economy. We have continued to thrive and prosper, maintaining our success as an international financial centre, as well as a leading business and trading hub in Asia.

The HKSAR Government is organising a host of events to celebrate the occasion in the territory, the Mainland and overseas. From the second quarter in 2007, a series of activities, including exhibitions, conferences, commissioning of infrastructure projects, sports events and cultural presentations will be held. We welcome everyone to participate. We encourage community bodies and district organisations to organise celebration activities, so as to provide more opportunities for the public to share the joy of this festive occasion.
