A Century of Hong Kong's Chinese and Foreign Businesses - Manufacturing and Service Sectors
Industry has been the engine of Hong Kong's rapid economic development since the end of World War II. Light industrial production, including clothing, electronics, and household goods, is popular in Europe and the United States. However, more than a hundred years ago, Hong Kong had already developed different types of light and heavy industries, which contributed to Hong Kong's economy.
Another industry that quietly serves the public is the personal service industry, which includes grocery stores, medical services, beauty, transportation, and cultural and educational services, among others, taking care of the public's clothing, food, housing, and transportation needs. These industries have remained strong over time due to unchanging demand.
Zheng Baohong, a local history expert, has once again led readers back to Hong Kong more than a hundred years ago to revisit the development of Hong Kong's industrial and service industries in the "Industrial and Service Industry" section, following the "Trade and Finance" and "Food and Entertainment" sections.
