1. Give the reasons for the

rapid growth of Hong Kong's external trade. What are the difficulties encountered by Hong Kong in her export of domestic products? Give examples.

Hong Kong is a British colony

and is situated at the mouth of the Pearl River, a gateway of China. Being also located at the midway of many sea routes, she handles trade between China and the West: Her deep, sheltered harbour together with other

facilities enable her to become a major port in the world. The laissez faire policy (with minimum government intervention) and the low tax here are additional factors for the emergence of Hong Kong as an entrepot trade centre.

Since 1950, attempts in industrialization were proved to be successful.

After the Second World War,

This directly helped to increase the external

demand for Hong Kong products.

Later, the embargo

against China provided the opportunity for Hong Kong to become a source of Chinese crafts to the United States. On the other hand, the Commonwealthi Preference also contributed to the growth of the domestic exports of Hong Kong. There are many import-export firms having established commercial relations with other countries and foreign firms. Moreover, the presence of developed financial institutions (e. g: banks and insurance companies) as well as excellent transport and communication, port and warehousing facilities etc.

These are made possible by the imported technology, the presence of experienced. industrialists, technical training facilities and industrial promotion. products of Hong Kong are fairly cheap because of the relatively cheap labour and attempts to raise

The present existed training facilities for industries in Hong Kong are not adequate.

8. Since Hong Kong relies

heavily upon other countries for the supply of raw materials and capital goods, the fluctuations in import prices means that production costs are unstable. Hence, to maintain a relatively stable price for exports becomes quite difficult and this will affect the demand of exports in an unfavourable.

manner.

Hong Kong's exports have been concentrated on a few markets and a few products: Thus, economic recessions in those countries and decrease in the demand of those products may turn Hong Kong to a dangerous position since Hong Kong is so export- dependent.

10. Because of the lack of

The rapid growth of Imports, on the other hand, was attributable to Hong Kong's reliance on imported foodstuffs, raw materials and capital goods, and her. rapid growth of population and industry. The situation of practically no restriction on imports in Hong Kong also contributed to the growth of imports. Difficulties encountered by Hong Kong are:

HISTORY (25):

Beginning of totalitarianism

in Imperial Japan - Once Japan was at war with China: In' July 1937, it became in- creasingly necessary for the Japanese government to mobilize the country for war-efforts. The Japanese militarists made use of such a good excuse to increase its power of control In the

unity was strictly needed government, since national

in times of national emer- gency. Totalitarian rule" means dictatorial, flliberal control of all areas of national and social life. In a totalitarian country,

political parties are often disolved, free thinking forbidden, personal liberty taken away, and the economy state-controlled. Measures of totalitarian contról adopted by Japan, both in government and in society, included the following:

Economics the National Mobilization Law in: 1938 By this law, a lot of emergency powers were given to the prime minister. Such powers included the direction of labour and raw materials to favour or

and prices in society so as to check inflation, government operation of certain industries, and even the enforcement of a compulsory saving project among Japanese people. Yet, because of oppositions from the parties in the Diet, many of these powers were not taken up by the prime minister in 1938. Not all the measures were actually put into practice. Political re-organization of the government - New government bodies were created. They included (a) the Cabinet Planning Board

Its function was

"to coordinate the work of

the growing number of government departments and to work out the economic

policy of the country

as a whole. The power

-power that the Cabinet Planning Board enjoyed was disproporţionately Larger than that of other government departments. (b) The Imperial Head- quarters (Dai Hon Ei †)

Its function was to coordinate military planning and operations between the army and the Davy, so that better cooperation between the two armed forces would be possible. (c) The Gabinet Advisory Council This body had four repre- sentatives from the milf - tary, three from the parties, two from finance and business, and one from the foreign ministry. They were all advisers to national policy. (d) The Asia Development Board It was responsible for Japan's relations with China. In 1942, a Greater East Asia Ministry, which dealt with affaris about East Asian countries in general, was established to absorb the Asía Deve-- Lopment Board, (e) The Liaison Conference (95% → ** ) — All important government decisions were made at the Liaison Con- ferences. At these meetings, the Prime Minister, the Foreign Minister and other top military leaders would. be present to discuss

conferences.

Social: increased govern- ment control of thoughts and society - In Japanese schools, the military tried to strengthen obedience and loyalty among the students by revising text books and rewriting them in emotional ultra- nationalistic terms, pro- hibiting toreign books, and stepping up milita. ristic education, as army officers were stationed in schools to supervise compulsory military exercises.

Completion of totalitarianism

Toward the late 1930s, the international situation grew more unfavourable to Japan, For example, the war with China had come to a deadlock and was becoming increasingly costly and burdensome to Japan's limited resources. On the other hand, the US was growing unfriendly. Thus it became more necessary for the Japanese government to impose stricter control over the country and take more measures to strengthen national unity. In 1940, the formation of the New National Structure (Shintaisel 1) was announced. Social mobilization - At the lowest level of society, small neighborhood asso- ciation (tonarigumi (8) which every Japanese had to join, were set up. On the higher level, these associations were linked together into prefectural committees. Nationally, these prefectural commit- tees would form a national committee. By mid-1941, the whole country had been systematically organized in such a manner. ALL Japmese people were thus kept under state control. Negatively, the system enabled the government to find out and quickly put down any opposition to militarist rule. Positively, the system raised national morale for war, made it easy for the government to carry out war propaganda, and made sure that local law and order would be kept economically and efficiently.

Political mobilization Efforts were made to group together all politi- cal, social and cultural bodies in the country. The objective was to streng- then Japan's political unity against the West. Political parties were dissolved and group ed under a newly created "Imperial Rule Assistance Association (Taisei

Yokusankai -1 11⁄2 11 %).

The few remaining labour unions were combined to form a single patriotic association of workers. ii. Ideological mobilization

Control was extended Into thought and belief. Nega- tively, any kind of opposition and disagree- ment was put down, Attempts were made to des- troy Western influence in Japan. Positively, nationalist Japanese slogans such as "the Imperial Way" or "unity of government and reli gion" were advocated. Japan's national myths, especially those about the Emperor's divine nature, were taught in school.

School boys

were told that the

Japanese were the chosen people to unify the world.
