The chart shows the domestic exports of manufacturing industries of Hong Kong in 1996. Of the charted, 32.7% of the exports is clothing, which is HK69,447 million. The next important share fo the exports is electronics, with HK 55,067 million, which amounts to 26.0% of the total export value. The third biggest part of the exports is textiles, which makes up 6.5% of the total and the value of the exports is HK 13,693 million. The following important industries in exports are watches & clocks, constituding 5.6% of the total with worth of HK11,987, chemical taking 4.1% of the whole, worthy of HK 8.691 million, and jewellery making up 2.7% of the general, with worth of HK 5.777 million. Certainly there are others manufacturing industries exported, which takes 22.4% of the whole exports.
From the chart, we can see that clothing and electronics are supporting industries for export. They account for nearly 59% of the total export. Together with others mentioned, the export industries are processing industries and high-densely technical industries.
There are several reasons for this structure. Firstly, Hong Kong lacks of natural resources, such as steel and coal, which prevent its developing fundamental industries. Secondly, Hong Kong is densely populated area, and it has fundamental labour force, which aids its labour-densified-industries, such as clothing and textile. Thirdly, high technology is advanced in Hong Kong, which provides precision-made industries possible, such as electronics, watches & clocks, ect.
As to my suggestions, Hong Kong should develop its transporting industries because it is a free harbour. Due to its geographical advantage, information industries should be developed.
