HK TEXTILE INDUSTRY GIVEN A SHOT IN THE ARM
HK Economic Journal (8/3)
HK textile manufacturers have received quite a vast amount
of orders from S.E. Asia in recent months, reported some members of the textile
trade. An average increase of 20% over orders accepted last year has been
recorded. Vietnam, for example, has gradually become one of the important
markets for our textiles.
Resourceful manufacturers of HK have made trips to the Philippines,
Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand to broaden our textile markets, formerly restrict-
ed to N. America, Europe and Australia, and woo more orders. Their efforts have
not been wasted.

Shatin.
Dealers in cold storage bisiness are not happy about the news
because their business will certainly suffer a blow when China, HK's No. 1
frozen food supplier, makes use of its own, instead of relying on local, cold
storage spaces.
However, other traders welcome the news for overseas inves tors
will have greater faith in HK, now that China increases its investment here

and maintains a good relationship with Britain,
