The China-Hong Kong Connection - The Key to China's Open Door Policy

It has long been recognized that Hong Kong is the key to China's door to the outside world, and the focus of this book is on the multi-faceted roles of Hong Kong in China's open-door policy. The discussion takes account of developments up to June 1990.

Summary

This is an account of the 'middleman' role Hong Kong has played in China's Open Door Policy. It explains the paradoxical situation by which Hong Kong's role as intermediary in China's commodity trade is becoming more prominent in spite of the fact that since the development of the Open Door Policy in 1979 China has established many direct links with the outside world.
