China and Hongkong continued to develop and expand the manufacturing industry in the1960s following the pace of the past decade. Strong economic growth has made China and Hong Kong one of the four little dragons in Asia, on par with Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan Province. With the rapid economic development and the active development of infrastructure and public housing, the quality of life of Hong Kong residents in China has generally improved. However, influenced by the unstable factors in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong society in China has accumulated a lot of public grievances, which led to two riots. However, after the turmoil, the Hong Kong Government actively studied how to improve people's livelihood, paving the way for the reform of people's livelihood policy in the next decade. 1960s can be said to be the economic turning point of China and Hongkong. In 1960, the per capita GDP was still relatively low. Comparing with Peru, South Africa and Greece in the same period, the per capita GDP of Argentina is twice that of China and Hongkong, while that of Venezuela is three times. Although people's living standards have steadily increased, their salaries are still low. The number of registered factories has changed from/kloc-0 to 3 in the 1950s.

000 to/kloc-0 10 in the 1960s.

000, the number of registered foreign-funded companies has also increased from 300 to 500. Despite being overshadowed by the political struggle in Chinese mainland, various industries still need a lot of labor, which enables the manufacturing industry in China and Hongkong to develop continuously. /kloc-China and Hongkong experienced many changes in the 1970s. These changes have laid the foundation for the future of China and Hongkong-from developing manufacturing industry to developing business. In the 1970s 1898, the deadline for developing the China-Hong Kong boundary was only over 20 years, which meant that the British side was about to hand over the New Territories north of Boundary Street and 235 large and small islands to China. At that time, Governor MacLehose visited Beijing and began to discuss the future of China and Hong Kong with Chinese leaders. The British side once anticipated the feasibility of extending the lease of the New Territories, thus solving the long-standing problems. However, reality and imagination are two different things. After many rounds of discussions, the British side's desire to extend the lease period failed. Instead, it began to work with China to work out a timetable for returning China and Hongkong to China. Clothing 1960s: China and Hong Kong industries took off in this era, and various manufacturing industries flourished, especially the garment industry developed rapidly. The booming economy improved the quality of life in China and Hong Kong, and the lifestyle became international. The China Hong Kong Fashion Festival was also held for the first time in 1967, and the works of local fashion designers officially appeared. After that, fashion festivals were held every year, making China and Hongkong a new fashion design center in Southeast Asia. In addition, driven by the American film culture and the overall westernization of movie stars such as Chen Baozhu and Xiao Fangfang in China and Hong Kong, the fashion atmosphere in China and Hong Kong has undergone major changes, and women's suits have gradually replaced the unfashionable Tang-style shirts, pants and cheongsam. For men, it has become fashionable to wear a suit, and the most popular style at that time was the one with a thin collar and a low split tail. Although in the early 1960s, many people in China and Hong Kong wore Tang-style shirts, trousers and cheongsam, by the end of 1960s, suits had become the mainstream and closely followed the changes of international fashion.

Geocities/iawebsite _ Hong Kong/c1.jpg The westernized dress of China and Hong Kong movie star Chen Baozhu swept through the 1960s. 70s: This is the economic take-off period of China and Hongkong, which can be said to be the era when a newly rich upstart comes. At this time, women, catching up with men in shopping malls, appeared "strong women." They can buy brand-name clothes economically, making money easily and spending it faster. Popular clothing styles in this era include men's clothing designed by Saint Laurent (He Shouxin likes to wear it most), strong woman's suit (Deng Lianru's version), KENAO's high-soled pine shoes (refer to Lin Yazhen dressed by Xiao Fangfang), Post-Hippies dressed by hippies later, and Addidas sports suit in Bruce Lee. Brand-name shops such as Gucci and Dior are also popular. Under this environment, sewing shops are gradually banned by garment shops, fashion shops and department stores. In addition, the jeans culture from the United States swept the world, and Hong Kong people began to give up the formal way of dressing, so the collar of a suit was no longer a necessary item. In addition to jeans, low-waisted flared trousers are also very popular. Photo reference:. Geocities/iawebsite _ Hong Kong/c2.jpg Jeans were very popular in the late 1970s. Traffic: The construction of highways, buildings, tunnels and ponds in the 1960s increased the demand of the construction industry. In 1962, after the satellite cities of Kwai Chung and Tsuen Wan were developed, they began to develop to Tuen Mun in the west and Sha Tin in the north. With the development of the New Territories, the road network of China and Hongkong has been greatly expanded. 1967 1 1 month 14, the Lion Rock Tunnel connecting Kowloon Tong and Sha Tin District was officially opened, which is the earliest road tunnel in China and Hong Kong. 1969, the China-Hong Kong Cross-Harbour Tunnel, which crosses Victoria Harbour and connects China, Hong Kong Island, Wanchai and Hung Hom, Kowloon, was actually built, and construction started on September 1 of the same year. In aviation construction, the new passenger terminal and parking lot of Kai Tak Airport were completed and put into use in 1962, and the control tower was moved to the new passenger terminal, while the old passenger terminal was demolished in 1965. The new passenger terminal was used until 1998 when the airport was relocated. Transportation: The first underground railway in China and Hong Kong in the 1970s-China and Hong Kong Metro was officially opened to traffic in 1979. This section of the route serves the people of East Kowloon, from Shek Kip Mei to Kwun Tong. In the same year1February, the subway service was extended to Tsim Sha Tsui. By 1980, people can already take the subway from Kwun Tong Station to Central Station, which is located in the central business district of Hong Kong Island. Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel, the first cross-harbour tunnel in China and Hongkong, was opened to traffic on 1972. After that, people do not need to take the ferry to and from Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. The small electric boats used to cross the sea have gradually declined since then.
