Trade Services
Since China became a member of the World Trade Organization, trade of physical goods between China and the rest of the world has increased dramatically over the past decade.
However, Hong Kong is the preferred choice for many businesses to conduct their China operations. Hong Kong is one of the world’s largest shipping and container ports, an established legal and financial infrastructure and a simple and efficient tax system.
