Revenue, Foreign Investment and the Stock Market
'A lot of investors from the world over have put their money in Hong Kong and therefore put their faith inthe present system and in the continuing prosperity of Hong Kong'.
'We take no revenue, so there is nothing financial in it for Britain'.
Hong Kong
'Hong Kong is a sensitive place and in a sensitive place you would expect the market to fluctuate'.
'The British Government takes no revenue at all out of Hong Kong. I think we in Britain have a similar interest to all of those who do international trade through Hong Kong. After all, the US does a good deal of trade through Hong Kong, so does Japan, so does Australia and also they invest to put some money in, so our economic interest is in a way the same as many other people who invest in Hong Kong'.
