Ten years after the British handover to China, Hong Kong not only survived under Chinese rule, but is in fact thriving – despite the Asian economic meltdown, the birdflu and SARS crises – retaining its hallmark liberal trading system, its autonomy and its economic influence. Hong Kong stands today as a beacon for international trade, easing the flow of goods (and people) from the rest of the world to China and the Asia Pacific, and likewise, from China to the rest of the world.

Hong Kong has demonstrated its incredible ability to turn adversity to advantage, in enacting an "economic renaissance" that is inextricably tied to the world economy and increasingly to that of mainland China. By 2007, 20.48 million mainland tourists had visited Hong Kong, and bilateral trade between Hong Kong and China reached $166 billion in 2006.

Hong Kong offers an appropriate and convenient gateway to business expansion on the InfoComm Asia platform for the international ProAV industry.
