HONG KONG - ECONOMIC
OVERVIEW
Hong Kong has a free market
economy, highly dependent on international trade and finance - the value of
goods and services trade, including the sizable share of re-exports, is about
four times GDP. Hong Kong has no tariffs on imported goods, and it levies
excise duties on only four commodities, whether imported or produced locally:
hard alcohol, tobacco, hydrocarbon oil, and methyl alcohol. There are no quotas
or dumping laws. Hong Kong's open economy left it exposed to the global economic
slowdown that began in 2008. Although increasing integration with China,
through trade, tourism, and financial links, helped it to make an initial
recovery more quickly than many observers anticipated, its continued reliance
on foreign trade and investment leaves it vulnerable to renewed global
financial market volatility or a slowdown in the global economy. The Hong Kong
government is promoting the Special Administrative Region (SAR) as the site for
Chinese renminbi (RMB) internationalization. Hong Kong residents are allowed to
establish RMB-denominated savings accounts; RMB-denominated corporate and
Chinese government bonds have been issued in Hong Kong; and RMB trade
settlement is allowed. The territory far exceeded the RMB conversion quota set
by Beijing for trade settlements in 2010 due to the growth of earnings from
exports to the mainland. RMB deposits grew to roughly 12% of total system
deposits in Hong Kong by the end of 2013. The government is pursuing efforts to
introduce additional use of RMB in Hong Kong financial markets and is seeking
to expand the RMB quota. The mainland has long been Hong Kong's largest trading
partner, accounting for about half of Hong Kong's total trade by value. Hong
Kong's natural resources are limited, and food and raw materials must be
imported. As a result of China's easing of travel restrictions, the number of
mainland tourists to the territory has surged from 4.5 million in 2001 to 34.9
million in 2012, outnumbering visitors from all other countries combined. Hong
Kong has also established itself as the premier stock market for Chinese firms
seeking to list abroad. In 2012 mainland Chinese companies constituted about
46.6% of the firms listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and accounted for
about 57.4% of the Exchange's market capitalization. During the past decade, as
Hong Kong's manufacturing industry moved to the mainland, its service industry
has grown rapidly. Credit expansion and tight housing supply conditions have
caused Hong Kong property prices to rise rapidly; consumer prices increased by
more than 4% in 2013. Lower and middle income segments of the population are
increasingly unable to afford adequate housing. Hong Kong continues to link its
currency closely to the US dollar, maintaining an arrangement established in
1983. In 2013, Hong Kong and China signed new agreements under the Closer
Economic Partnership Agreement, adopted in 2003 to forge closer ties between
Hong Kong and the mainland. The new measures, effective from January 2014,
cover services and trade facilitation, and will improve access to the
mainland's service sector for Hong Kong-based companies

Incorporated in January 2003, Winnitex Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Winnitex Holdings Ltd. which is a BVI-registered firm.
The subject is a member of the Winnitex Group which is an integrated textiles group specialized in weaving, dyeing and finishing of cotton, linen, corduroy, woven, yarn-dyed and other cotton/blended fabrics. The subject is the flagship company of the Group’s fabric business.
The history of the Winnitex Group dates back to 1964 when the President of the Group Mr. Wai Tien Ching founded the first member of Winnitex Group which is Hing Fung Printing & Dyeing Factory Ltd. [Hing Fung]. Hing Fung is a Hong Kong-registered firm. Spurred by the rapid development of the textiles industry in Hong Kong during the 1980’s, Hing Fung grew from a small dyeing and finishing business into one of the reputable dyeing factories in Hong Kong.
Now, the Winnitex Group has set up two main mills in China, namely, Zhejiang Hing Fung Printing & Dyeing Factory Ltd. [Hing Fung] and Zhejiang Qing Mao Weaving, Dyeing & Printing Co. Ltd. [Qing Mao]. Both firms are in Zhejiang Province, China. Qing Mao was set up in China in 2002.
Hing Fung has become one of the significant company in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, China. It is located at ‘17 Ning Dong Road, Xiaoshan Economic Technology Development Zone, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China’.
Now, the legal representative of Qing Mao is Wai Chi Kwok, Jacob. He is also president of the Group.
The Winnitex Group took a major step in 1978 and established Hing Mou Textiles Ltd. which was the first weaving mill of the Group. But this business was dissolved on 11th January, 2002.
Another milestone was laid in 1989 when Hing Fung was upgraded into a continuous dyeing mill. The site (approximately 20,000 sq.ft.) where the old dyeing and finishing plant had situated, was redeveloped into a 3-storey production facility with a total floor area of 60,000 sq.ft. This redevelopment has brought the Group’s total production floor area to 150,000 sq.ft.
In 1994, the Winnitex Group made an investment of US$30 million to set up a 100%-owned and is also the Group’s first weaving and dyeing plant in Zhejiang Province, China, known as Zhejiang Hing Fung Weaving, Dyeing & Printing Co. Ltd. In April 2000, this plant got the ISO 9002 certification.
Hing Fung has been one of the 500 largest enterprises in China.
In 2003, the Group set up Fouhang (Shanghai) International Trading Ltd. which has become the Group’s trading arm in China. This firm is one of the main buying offices of the Group.

The Group also has got the Marks and Spencer laboratory accreditation.
According to the subject, the Group’s monthly dyeing capacity is 10 million metres with products ranging from shirts, trousers, formal wear, casual wear, outerwear, colour denim and different kinds of uniforms.
In recent years, the Group has set up an office in Macau known as Winnitex (Macao Commercial Offshore) Ltd. which is a Macau-registered firm.
Now, the Winnitex Group has had over 3,000 employees in Hong Kong, New York, Tokyo, Shanghai, Shaoxing, Hangzhou, Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, Macau and India. Annual sales turnover of the Group ranges from US$150 to 155 million, making a small profit every year.
The subject has about 25 employees in Hong Kong.
