Hong Kong is the mainland’s largest investor, and Hong Kong companies have been fully engaged in China’s economic growth and transformation for more than 30 years. For Turkish companies, Hong Kong is the ideal location from which to tap into the huge China markets as well as emerging markets across Asia.
