Stitch, re: HK & Shanghai. I certainly agree, perhaps not having made myself clear. It is certainly not just political drost. Before HK, it was in fact Shanghai, and before Shanghai it was Canton. HK did not achieve its dominant status until the the Japanese invasion to the fall of the Nationalist regime. Of course, the dominant faction in power in Beijing today is loosely classed as the "Shanghai mafia" Dalien under the Germans never lived up to its promise, but it is certainly strategically located, as are all of the great ports of China. Best, Steve
