12 Part E: EBL Questions Read the excerpt below and compose genuine and varied questions that relate to the article. Set 10 questions in order according to the level of enquiry-based learning (EBL) approach. (10 marks) The Rise and Decline of Hong Kong Industry Industrial development in Hong Kong has a long history. Making boats and shipping related industries were the first to develop. More heavy industries developed by European companies. In the early 20th century, Chinese merchants established factories in Hong Kong, stimulating such industries as textile and the manufacturing of rubber shoes and torches. By the time of Japanese occupation, local industries had already made much progress. Industrial production was almost halted during the occupation but revived quickly after the War. Shanghai industrialists brought in capital and technical knowhow with them; large numbers of refugees provided an immense pool of cheap labour; capitals moved from trading to manufacturing under the impact of Korean War; the opening of markets in the United States and Europe saw further progress in Hong Kong s industrialization. The types of industries after the war differed significantly from before. With the progress of technology and changes in lifestyle, the production of rubber products, torches and patent medicines which had dominated before the war gradually declined, and industries such as textiles, garments, plastics, watches and electronics took their places as pillars of the manufacturing sector. Some of the Shanghai industrialists established textile factories in Hong Kong, bringing with them new technologies in spinning and as a result, weaving, dyeing and finishing as well as garmentmaking also developed quickly, and an integrated, vertical production line of cotton goods arose. By the mid-1950s, manufacturing had become a pillar of Hong Kong s economy. In 1956, Hong Kong s export value reached $3.21 billion, close to the level on the eve of the UN embargo ($3.71 billion), a proof that Hong Kong s industries were making a significant contribution to the economy. In the 1960s, Hong Kong was the export centre of manufactured products in East Asia. The following decade saw the spread of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) as Hong Kong became the production base of many overseas brand products. In the 1980s, labour-intensive production processes were relocated to the north. Small and medium sized enterprises moved the whole factory to China; some of the larger and more energetic companies engaged in retail trade and brand development. This trend has continued into the 2000s. (Source: index.html#&panel1-6 ) ~End of Part E~ ~End of Paper~
