One of the great trading ports of the world, Hong Kong has always been inextricably linked to China in a variety of ways, such as trade, economics and traditions. Family ties across the border are very strong - a fact borne out by the huge investments made in China by Hong Kong tycoons wishing to return some of their good fortune to the land of their birth. More than 55 percent of all foreign investment in the Mainland comes from the SAR.

Hong Kong was created as a port for Chinese trade and today accounts for a large majority of the country's imports and exports. Manufacturing industries have increasingly straddled the old border, where the Special Economic Zone of Shenzhen is virtually a suburb of Hong Kong. Although the economy has dipped recently, the Stock Exchange still heaves and power banquets are still held, as are regular international trade shows at the newly enlarged convention centre and elsewhere in this vibrant, sophisticated modern metropolis of over six million people.
