Furthermore, it helps promoting the modernization of our economy.It is an attempt of this dissertation to provide a systematic account of China's intermediary effect in Sino-Japanese interchange by making use of voluminous Chinese and English material. The first section is an analysis on the reasons why China needs an intermediary in her economic interflow with other countries. The second part describes the conditions favourable to Hong Kong's development as an intermediary in Sino-Japanese economic interflow.
