Hong Kong Economic And Trade Office
The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Offices (HKETOs) (Chinese: 香港經濟貿易辦事處) are the representations of Hong Kong outside the territory. There are currently ten HKETOs outside the Greater China Region, and four in the Greater China Region (one in Taiwan and three in Mainland China).
In addition to HKETOs, the Hong Kong Government has an office in Beijing, the capital of China (the Office of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in Beijing).

Famous quotes containing the words economic, trade and/or office:
“We have heard all of our lives how, after the Civil War was over, the South went back to straighten itself out and make a living again. It was for many years a voiceless part of the government. The balance of power moved away from it—to the north and the east. The problems of the north and the east became the big problem of the country and nobody paid much attention to the economic unbalance the South had left as its only choice.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“I doubt if men ever made a trade of heroism. In the days of Achilles, even, they delighted in big barns, and perchance in pressed hay, and he who possessed the most valuable team was the best fellow.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Most women without children spend much more time than men on housework; with children, they devote more time to both housework and child care. Just as there is a wage gap between men and women in the workplace, there is a “leisure gap” between them at home. Most women work one shift at the office or factory and a “second shift” at home.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
