Assigned Task:

Can Hong Kong be another industrial miracle?

What I learn from Topic 5…What I learn from Topic 5…

– After studying the case in Japan in Topic 5, you learn that the development of industry does not necessarily depends on the amount of raw materials and fuel an economy has.

– Like Japan, it is a small country with limited resource supply. It can develop its industry successfully so that its economy is healthier than the one of Hong Kong.

• Some economists blamed that Hong Kong suffered more from the Asian Financial Crisis since 1999 than Japan because Hong Kong GDP mainly comes from tertiary production. The economic development is not balanced.

• Mr. Tsang published his first policy address on October, 2005. Through Closer Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), secondary industry will be encouraged in Hong Kong.
