Kingy, brush up on some general knowledge about asian economics before making another post. I am sure others here who know HK well (some may have lived there) can also teach you a thing or two.
HK's economy was and is largely dependent on China economic growth. HK was and is still a shipment transit hub for Chinese exports around the world. PRC commerce in the 1980s wih the outside world was almost entirely conducted in HK as a conduit.
China's economic growth in the 80s and 90s were driven largely (almost entirely) because of exports.
Exports back in those days to the US amount to more than half of all exports overseas. It is now a small fraction of that.
You undermined the bulls morale badly with that one.
