Although the Chinese economy is likely to become overheated again in 1987, there are as yet only limited signs of China tightening its control on the economy, particularly with respect to importation of goods and services and inflow of foreign investments (paragraph 39).
Hong Kong's position as the most important source of foreign investment in China is unlikely to change in
1987. If anything, its lead over the other sources is likely to widen further (paragraphs 40 and 42).
(10) The very rapid growth of Hong Kong's trade with China in the first quarter of 1987 re-affirmed, among other things, Hong Kong's role as an important entrepôt for China. The outward processing activities, which were believed to have been growing
rapidly since early 1986, helped to explain the
remarkable flexibility demonstrated by Hong Kong's
manufacturing sector in satisfying the very
substantial increase in the volume of overseas
demand for its products (paragraph 41).
