一、发展史简单回顾英国在1841年强占香港时,曾反复强调所以占领香港岛是由于外交、军事和贸易方面的紧张。当然,贸易才是真正的目的,而前两者只是实现目的的手段。当时香港还是个只有一些渔村的小岛,香港的价值并不在于它拥有的财富,而在于它很可能成为一个自由港。香港的转口贸易从1841年开始发展,经济交往沿中国海岸迅速扩张。兴建自由港,没有外贸限制,没有海关关税,同时允许私人自由支配私有的码头及船坞设施,这一切都是转口贸易发展前提条件。所有这一切也都符合英国殖民主义政府以及商人的利益。
First, the history of the development A brief review of the British occupation of Hong Kong in 1841, had repeatedly stressed that the reason for the occupation of Hong Kong Island is due to diplomatic, military and trade tensions. Of course, trade is the real purpose, and the first two are only means of achieving it. At that time, Hong Kong was still a small island with only some fishing villages. Hong Kong’s value did not lie in the wealth it possessed, but rather it was likely to become a free port. The entrepot trade in Hong Kong started to develop in 1841 and its economic exchanges expanded rapidly along the coast of China. The construction of a free port, the absence of foreign trade restrictions, the absence of customs duties and the allowance of private ownership of private piers and dock facilities are all preconditions for the development of entrepot trade. All this is in the interest of the British colonial government and businessmen.
