No?
You have to regularly maintain that shit, it's also been significantly expanded.

>Anything you bring there by boat to sell into china has to go back on another boat to get to China anyways.
Not necessarily, a lot of product is used in Hong Kong and other items are taken over in trucks, or just not taken into Hong Kong's port in the first place.

I feel like you are trying to angle for an argument, which makes zero sense considering I'm relaying what actually happens and goes on and you're trying to say something different has occurred. Trade happens, anon.

Japan got to be a lot more protective of their nation when Euros arrived. They knew what was coming and industrialized lightning fast and then became a colonial power in their own right (China and Korea fucking hate them for this, btw) China had a lot of other bullshit going on and so got fucked up, but they're doing alright now.
