The Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition), which ran for four days last month and attracted 87,000 buyers, reflected back-to-back robust periods - in 2017, when exports were valued at $329 billion, and for the January through August 2018 interval, when they were valued at $234 billion and up 14 percent over the same stretch in 2017. And while a statement based on an attendee survey during this show referenced "the recent Sino-U.S. trade friction" as having had somewhat of a negative impact on export performance thus far for 2018, 40 percent of respondents said they still expected their overall company sales to grow this year - with the most promising emerging markets for their goods being Japan, South Korea, Western Europe, the Chinese Mainland, the Middle East, and ASEAN countries.
