Download or read book Hong Kong SAR Economic Integration with the Pearl River Delta written by Hongyi Chen and published by INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND. This book was released on 2008-12-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hong Kong SAR's economic integration with the Mainland has primarily taken place in the Pearl River Delta (PRD). Taking stock of integration trends, this paper discusses key implications for ensuring economic benefits of further integration are sustained and associated costs minimized. Besides further investments in infrastructure, Hong Kong SAR's role as a producers services and finance hub will depend on frictionless movements of goods, services, people and know-how, requiring policy coordination to further promote trade and investment and developing a common human skills base with the PRD. Regional cooperation will also be needed to minimize the costs of rising levels of cross-border pollution.
Download or read book Hong Kong as a Global Business and Financial Hub written by Tai-Lok Lui and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the manifold ways that the current confrontations between China and the US, and political tensions within the Special Administrative Region (SAR) has brought Hong Kong to the forefront of emerging political frictions between Beijing and the territory and growing international rivalry between the two powerful nations of the world. Unlike the situation in the post-WWII decades, which witnessed the internationalisation of the Hong Kong economy, this “New Cold War” poses challenges to the SAR’s status as a global city and international financial and business centre. The enactment of the National Security Law and the growing presence of Beijing in regulating the SAR’s domestic affairs triggered strong reactions from many countries. Hong Kong has to bear some of the consequences of measures imposed onto China as a result of current controversies. The shadow of China also raises many eyebrows about the prospects of Hong Kong as a free and liberal city. And the outbreak of COVID-19 and the concomitant interruption to economic flows and the movement of people further complicate the situation. This book will be of great value to students and scholars in the fields such as Economics, Sociology and Asia Pacific studies. The chapters in this book were originally published in the Asia Pacific Business Review.

Abstract: Abstract of this thesis entitled Globalization and Its Impact on Economic Change and Urban Structure: A Case Study of Hong Kong, 1980-2000 Submitted by Chan Shui Yum For the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in August 2003 Globalization is a comparatively recent phenomenon, but its effect on the relationships between neighbouring countries in the past two decades, particularly countries in the South East Asia, has been profound. Globalization is a process of expanding and deepening the global market for goods and commodities, services, and finance, which has been spurred by the advancements in telecommunication, transportation, and production technologies and later by trade liberalization, unprecedented growth rates of foreign direct investment (FDI), and transnational corporation (TNCs) activities. The forces of globalization, in the form of FDI flows through TNC activities, have transformed Hong Kong and its hinterland. Little research has been conducted on this topic, and this thesis studies the effects of globalization on Hong Kong and its hinterland in the Pearl River Delta (PRD). Hong Kong as an open market economy is one of the most globalized cities in the Asian Pacific area. Its economic, social and spatial patterns were inevitably affected by intensifying globalization between 1980 and 2000. Economically, accelerating globalization has led to marked economic growth and a major economic transformation from manufacturing to services based economy. But despite bringing economic prosperity to Hong Kong, globalization has also contributed to social polarization and income inequality in the territory in the past twenty years. Manufacturing employment has declined rapidly, resulting in a persistent high unemployment rate in the late 1990s further worsened by the economic downturn. A large pool of poor and unemployed people has sought help from the social security system, and this unemployment will eventually place a heavy burden on Hong Kong's finances. Spatially, various kinds of landuse restructuring have resulted from increasing globalization, mainly due to decentralization of industrial activity and centralization of commercial activity. The prolonged northward shift of manufacturing establishments to the PRD has resulted in a substantial decline of industrial landuse in Hong Kong. At the same time, a large number of TNCs have established regional headquarters in Hong Kong, resulting in a remarkable concentration of offices and service businesses in the central business districts of Hong Kong. Integration between Hong Kong and the PRD has progressed rapidly since the China opened and reformed its economy in the late 1970s. Intensifying globalization in Hong Kong has not only transformed the economic, social and spatial patterns of Hong Kong, but has also altered the urban form of the territory's hinterland. An extended metropolitan region including Hong Kong, Macao, Shenzhen, and the rest of the PRD area has emerged in the past two decades. Changes in economic conditions and spatial patterns in the PRD have resulted from the relocation of labour-intensive manufacturing processes from Hong Kong to the PRD to take advantage of cheaper land and labour costs, and the study analyses the effects of this relocation.

Abstract: Abstract for dissertation entitled A Comparative Study of the Roles of Hong Kong and Shanghai in the Economic Integration of the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta Submitted by Lai Yin Sheung for the degree of Master of Arts at the University of Hong Kong in June 2006 The implementation of the open door policy enabled China to reestablish contacts with the world. Selected coastal cities were able to engage in foreign trade and receive foreign investment. Under the force of globalization and the new international division of labor, China had achieved rapid economic growth since 1978. Today, China is nicknamed the world's factory. Its export-oriented manufacturing industries located in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) and the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) have contributed a major share of the global output in consumer electronics and apparels industries etc. The two delta regions are regarded as the growth engines of China although different development paths were traced. The development of the PRD is the result of spontaneous investment from foreign sources while the YRD is a designated project under state directives. However, each region has a core city to facilitate economic integration. Hong Kong, Asia's World city, is the core city of the PRD whereas Shanghai, host city of the World Expo 2010, is the dragonhead of the YRD. Apart from the long history of foreign interaction, Hong Kong and Shanghai have unique location advantages, entrepreneurial spirits, and other competitive advantages that out beat other cities in the regions as core cities. In fact, it is the competitive advantages of the core cities that play the key roles in fostering economic integration and cooperation in the delta regions such as being the source of capital, service hub, and transportation and communication center. The prospects of the two regions are rested on the local and international environments. The complexity of the 'One Country, Two Systems' arrangement and the multi-level administrations are believed to be the hindrance to effective implementation of cross-border projects of Hong Kong and the rest of the PRD cities in the Mainland. For the YRD, although Shanghai is the chosen dragonhead of the region and the development within the region is comparatively coordinated, conflicts between cities exist. The joining of the World Trade Organization means more liberal trade measures would be taken in China, however, regions and cities are exposed to fierce competition and unprecedented opportunities for cooperation under globalization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issues surrounding Hong Kong's global position and international links grow increasingly complex by the day as the process of Hong Kong's transformation from a British colony to a Chinese Special Administration Region unfolds. This volume addresses a number of questions relating to this process. How international is Hong Kong? What are its global and international dimensions? How important are these dimensions to its continued success? How will these dimensions change, especially beyond the sphere of economics? Is Hong Kong's internationalization, defined in terms of its willingness to embrace international values and its capacity to maintain its international presence, at risk? These questions are presented as they pertain to the changing situation; relations between mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong; the positions of Australia, Canada and the United States on Hong Kong; internalization of international legal values; Americanization vs. Asianization; linkages to the world through Guangdong; strategies to emigrate overseas, cultural internationalization; media internationalization and universities within the global economy.
Download or read book The China Hong Kong Connection written by Yun Wing Sung and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 diplomatic, commercial and transportation links with the outside world. The book makes an important contribution to understanding China's various phases of economic reform and its interactions with global economic markets. Moreover, its arrival is timely, given the forced isolation of China after the events in Tiananmen Square in June 1989 as well as the fact that few years remain before Hong Kong ceases to be a British colony to become part of China. Dr Sung predicts that China's demands on Hong Kong's capacity as intermediary will increase dramatically when this happens.
