所以，"工業4.0"絕對不是製造大國或跨國企業的事，也同樣是本港中小企的切身課題。
Therefore Industry 4.0 is by no means a matter involving major manufacturing countries or multinational enterprises but is also of crucial interest to small and medium enterprises in Hong Kong
代理主席，我完全理解到，業界擔心智能化需要投入的不止是金錢，亦不止限於硬件，軟件能否配合也是十分關鍵的因素。
Deputy President I totally understand the concern of the industry that intelligent process does not only require money and hardware software development is also a crucial factor
如果政府決心推動"再工業化"，我期望其角色應更積極主動，包括如吳永嘉議員剛才所提到，將法例和法規與時並進地修訂。
If the Government is determined to promote re - industrialization I would expect it to assume a more proactive role in as Mr Jimmy NG mentioned just now amending the relevant legislation and rules to keep abreast of the times
創新及科技局局長楊偉雄在去年3月21日的網誌提到一點，我十分認同。
I cannot agree more with the point raised by Secretary for Innovation and Technology Nicholas YANG in his blog on 21 March last year
香港製造業在1980年代末遷移到內地後，不但失去近100萬個製造業職位，也一併失去了工業研發與工程設計的優勢，繼而步入"去工業化"的階段。
He said that after the migration of local manufacturing industry to the Mainland in late 1980s Hong Kong had not only lost almost one million manufacturing posts but also its edge in industrial research and development RD and project design consequently entering the stage of de - industrialization
反之，歐美國家一直將工業研發和工程設計的實力保留於本土，以蘋果的iPhone為例，雖然很多的硬件都在中國內地生產，但iPhone的設計、研發和軟件等核心工序仍然在美國的蘋果基地進行。
On the contrary countries in Europe and the United States have all along kept their strength in industrial RD and project design within their homelands . Take Apple iPhone as an example . Although many of its hardware is manufactured in Mainland China core processes such as design RD and software are still carried out in the base of the company in the United States
所以，香港如果要重振工業，應該從掌握核心的研發做起。
Therefore if Hong Kong wants to revive industries it should begin with gaining control over its core RD
可喜的是，本屆政府的施政報告已經積極推動創新科技，預算案亦預留額外500億元支援創新發展，向正確的方向前進。
It is therefore heartening to see that the current - term Government has stated in the Policy Address to proactively promote innovation and technology and the Budget has set aside an additional 50 billion to support innovative development . It is heading towards the right direction
香港要"再工業化"，其實人才的培訓很重要。
In order for Hong Kong to implement re - industrialization the training of talent is very important
我們需要將職前教育與企業智能化的管理接軌，改變青年人對工業的傳統印象，讓年青 一代結合科技等創新元素，將他們的創意融入傳統工業當中，才能讓"香港製造"的品牌光芒重現。
We need to integrate pre - vocational training and the intelligent management of enterprises so as to change young peoples longstanding impression about industry . The younger generation is encouraged to introduce innovative elements such as technology with a view to embodying their creativity in the traditional industries . Hence the brand of Made in Hong Kong can shine again
施政報告和預算案對人才培訓方面有回應，但細節鋪排上似乎未夠扎實。
Both the Policy Address and the Budget have responded to the request for talent training but the details provided are far from concrete
如果香港要落實"工業4.0"，則其定位如何，又或需要建立哪類高增值的製造產業，以及如何更好地匯聚人才，這些都急待政府和業界思考，並盡快作出決定。
If Hong Kong has to implement Industry 4.0 the Government and the industry will have to expeditiously figure out its positioning the kind of high value - added manufacturing industry to be developed and how talents can be better pooled
主席，我認同香港未來應該朝向"再工業化"的方向發展。
President I agree that re - industrialization should be the direction taken by Hong Kong in its future development
香港曾有"亞洲四小龍"之稱，工業發展蓬勃，但可惜由於生產成本上漲，1980年代掀起了工廠北移潮。
Once upon a time our prosperous industrial development won Hong Kong a seat among the Four Asian Little Dragons . However rising production costs had prompted many factories to move northward in the 1980s
自此以後，產業走向單一化，過度依賴金融、地產業等泡沫經濟，炒樓炒股成風，其他行業卻水盡鵝飛。
From then on our industries have become increasingly homogeneous overly relying on the financial and property industries which constituent a bubble economy . While property and stock speculation is rife other industries can hardly survive
前特首董建華曾經說要打造中藥港，又說要興建數碼港及科學園等；另一位特首梁振英則說要成立創新及科技局，發展高增值產業； 今屆林鄭特首更說要成立創新科技督導委員會，但說來說去都是雷聲大雨點小，創科依舊毫無起色。
Former Chief Executive TUNG Chee - hwa once said that he wanted to build a Chinese medicine port a cyberport a science part so on and so forth . Another Chief Executive LEUNG Chun - ying called for the setting up of the Innovation and Technology Bureau to develop high value - added industries . The incumbent Chief Executive Carrie LAM even said that she would establish a Steering Committee on Innovation and Technology
我們當然明白搞創科並非一朝一夕的事，但搞了20年都沒有顯著進步，這便是很大問題，反映政府雖然不斷推出創科政策，但一直以來都沒有總結經驗，汲取教訓。
Of course we know that IT development cannot attain success overnight but no significant progress has been made after 20 years . Then it is a big problem . It reflects that despite the continuous introduction of IT policies the Government has never learnt from its experience
香港的創新科技之所以一直停滯不前，主要的原因是政府沒有投放足夠的資源，也沒有推出適當的政策配合。
IT development remains stagnant in Hong Kong mainly because the Government has neither devoted adequate resources nor introduced appropriate policies
幸好，罵了多年，今屆特首終於在施政報告提出，在2022年前將研發開支大幅增至GDP的1.5%。
Luckily after years of criticisms the incumbent Chief Executive finally proposed in the Policy Address that the RD expenditure would be increased significantly to 1.5 % of GDP by 2022
在剛出台的財政預算案中，財政司司長亦一口氣"豪擲"500億元發展創科產業，令人感覺他非常有決心。
In the newly - announced Budget the Financial Secretary also proposed a lavish spending of 50 billion for developing IT industries to show his determination
不過，更重要的問題是，這些錢是否用得其所及能否成功帶動創科發展，但在在都令人質疑。
Having said that I must ask a more important question Will these funds be spent properly to bring success in IT development? . It is really a question which raises doubts
首先，在500億元撥款中，有200億元是用於落馬洲河套區的港深創新及科技園。
Firstly of the provision of 50 billion 20 billion will be spent on the Hong Kong - Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park the Park in the Lok Ma Chau Loop the Loop
事實上，早於回歸前，董建華已提出"數碼新紀元"，而政府過去亦已投放不少金錢大興土木，例如興建科學園、數碼港等。
As a matter of fact as early as before the handover there was the proposal of Digital 21 from TUNG Chee - hwa . Over the years the Government has also invested heavily in infrastructure such as the construction of the Science Park and the Cyberport
但是，大家也看到，數碼港和科學園均門庭冷落。
However as we are aware both the Cyberport and the Science Park are rather deserted now
有地、有基建卻沒有政策及人才配合，以致很多公司或企業感到心灰意冷。
Despite the availability of land and infrastructures there is a lack of supporting policies and talent many companies and enterprises are thus frustrated
如果河套區是所謂的"港深共同發展"，那麼當香港政府投入200億元時，深圳政府的角色和責任又是甚麼？
If the Loop is to be jointly developed by Hong Kong and Shenzhen what are the role and the responsibilities of the Shenzhen Government when the Hong Kong Government invests 20 billion?
不是說基建不重要，問題是政府不斷搞各式各樣的基建，但全部大而無當，例如港珠澳大橋及高鐵等"大白象"工程，大家已經有目共睹。
I am not saying that it is not important to build infrastructures; yet the problem is that the Government keeps on building gigantic but useless infrastructures . The Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge and the Express Rail Link are good examples of white elephant projects
在既陳舊又慢熱的官僚思維下，我很擔心政府只會重蹈覆轍，始終無法搞起創科發展。
Given the outdated and insensitive bureaucratic mentality of the Government I am afraid that the Government will repeat the same mistake and once again fail to foster IT development
除了批出大筆撥款搞基建外，在現階段還有甚麼實質政策可以協助業界？
Apart from allocating huge funding for infrastructure does the Government have any concrete policies to help the sector at this stage?
政府將動用100億元支援科技園內的公司，但詳情同樣欠奉，而且園內的公司亦未必能夠受惠。
Although it is going to support companies in the Science Park with a provision of 10 billion it has again failed to disclose any relevant details . There is a chance that those companies will not be benefited
又例如，政府要建設智慧城市， 首先必須開放數據。可是，業界爭取多年，政府依然愛理不理。
Another example is that in building a smart city the Government must first open up its data but it remains indifferent to this suggestion after years of campaigning by the sector
去年，有機構評核全球多個地區在開放數據方面的表現，結果香港排名第二十四位，遠遠落後於鄰近的台灣、日本及新加坡。
Last year Hong Kong ranked 24 in a global open data index far behind the neighbouring Taiwan Japan and Singapore
事實上，香港確有很多工業可以發展，但政府卻沒有用心去做。
Hong Kong could have developed many different industries only that the Government has failed to promote their development with heart and soul
主席，就捍衞勞工權益而言，我認為只要是真心從"打工仔女"的利益出發，議會是不應該分黨派的。
President insofar as the protection of labour rights is concerned I think the legislature should not be divided by political affiliations if Members are sincere in working for the benefits of wage earners
因此，對於何啟明議員今天提出的議案，我是支持的。
Hence I will support the motion proposed by Mr HO Kai - ming today
早前，當我為這項議題作準備時，我寄望新一任特首林鄭月娥的班子會有新作風，特別希望他們在勞工政策上會有新作為。
Some time ago when I was preparing for the discussion about this question I expected that the team led by new Chief Executive Carrie LAM would adopt a new style and I particularly hoped that they would come up with new initiatives in labour policies
可是，新一屆特首和其班子上場至今，結果是怎樣的呢？
What has happened since the new Chief Executive and her team assumed office?
只有4個字，非常失望。
I can only describe it with two words extreme disappointment
現屆政府看似來勢洶洶，既說要改善民生，又說要有新思維，但在勞工政策上，至今毫無寸進，只是延續上屆梁振英政府偏幫商界的作風，拖得便拖，可避便避。
On the surface this Government of the current term has appeared to be vigorous in improving peoples livelihood and adopting new thinking yet in terms of labour policies no progress has been made so far . The current - term Government continues to favour the business sector as LEUNG Chun - ying did in the previous term simply resorting to procrastination and evasion
對於集體談判權、標準工時、全民退保、最低工資"一年一檢"等政策，均隻字不提。
Regarding policies concerning the right to collective bargaining standard working hours universal retirement protection and the annual minimum wage review the Government has made no mention of them
至於取消強積金對沖機制，據我們所知，至今仍然在"研究"中。
As for the abolishment of the offsetting mechanism under the Mandatory Provident Fund System it is still under study as far as I know
最令人擔心的是甚麼呢？便是特首林鄭的態度。
What is most worrying is the attitude of Chief Executive Carrie LAM
對於"打工仔"來說，他們最關心的有兩件事，第一，是工資和福利，第二，是勞動的尊嚴。
For wage earners there are two issues of profound concern to them . First it is about wages and benefits . Second it is about the dignity of labour
令人遺憾的是，在香港這個自誇為"國際城市"的地方，這兩樣也是"打工仔"得不到的。
Regrettably in Hong Kong which claimed to be a cosmopolitan city workers are satisfied with none of these two aspects
現時香港勞工的權益，基本上單靠《僱傭條例》來維持或保障，但條例自上世紀訂立至今，其間只有枝節上的修訂，並無甚麼重大改變。
At present labour rights in Hong Kong are maintained or protected mainly by the Employment Ordinance . Yet the Ordinance was enacted in the last century when amendments have since been made merely to minor matters and no major change has ever been introduced
主要原因在於香港的勞工政策一直以行政主導，而不是以集體談判的方式來處理勞資關係。
The main reason is that labour policies in Hong Kong have all along been executive - led where labour relations are not addressed through collective bargaining
工人沒有集體談判權，而政府則一直以不干預自由市場運作為擋箭牌，以致勞工政策成為經濟政策的一部分，以不影響投資環境和不損害資方利益為大前提，變相任由工人被市場剝削。
When workers do not have the right to collective bargaining and the Government has all along been using non - intervention in the free market as the shield labour policies have been reduced to a part of our economic policy on the premise that the investment environment and employers interest should remain intact . Such a practice is de facto condoning the exploitation of workers in the market
以勞工界近年提出的標準工時為例，政府以無法平衡勞資利益為理由，將標準工時無限期擱置，更提出一個"縮水版"的"合約工時"，魚目混珠，無視"打工仔女"在訂定合約時，根本沒有話事權。
Take the proposal for standard working hours put forth by the labour sector in recent years as an example . The Government has shelved the implementation of standard working hours indefinitely on the excuse of the impossibility to balance the interests of employees and employers and substituted it with a downgraded version which is the contractual working hours . This is confusing the sham with the genuine disregarding the fact that wage earners have no say in drawing up the contract
然而，政府完全不顧這種事實，任由僱主決定，試問這樣如何維護勞工權益呢？
However the Government turns a blind eye to the reality and allows employers to make the decision . How can labour rights be protected in such circumstances?
另一方面，香港的工會地位一直無法提升，尤其是獨立工會組織長期處於邊緣位置，資方一直不肯承認工會的地位，政府又不願意介入。
Moreover the position of trade unions in Hong Kong has not been enhanced so far . Independent trade union organizations are particularly on the verge of being marginalized where employers refuse to recognize their status and the Government is unwilling to intervene
這做法美其名是勞資雙方可以自願協商，但實質是任由資方欺壓工友，而不作任何管制。
This practice is nicely put as an approach allowing voluntary negotiations between employees and employers . Yet in reality the Government is allowing employers to exploit workers and does not impose any regulation
由於政府一直拒絕訂立集體談判權的法例，大部分企業也不會主動跟工會溝通或承認工會的地位，近期的九巴事件正是一例。
Since the Government has all along refused to legislate for the right to collective bargaining the majority of enterprises will not make proactive efforts in communicating with trade unions or recognize their status . The recent incident concerning Kowloon Motor Bus KMB is a case in point
九巴車長對薪酬調整有很多意見，但資方只是簡單和單方面與親建制工會達成協議，提出一些似乎是加薪，但實際上沒有加薪的方案，其他車長因而發動罷工，要求檢討，但資方並不承認他們的地位，最初更拒絕溝通。
Drivers of KMB have many views about the pay adjustments yet the employer has only reached a brief agreement with trade unions from the pro - establishment camp unilaterally . The proposal for a pay adjustment does not bring about any increase in wage in actuality even though it is seemingly a pay rise proposal . For these reasons other drivers went on a strike to demand a review of the proposal yet the employer did not recognize their status and refuse to communicate with them in the beginning
如果工會的地位在法例或社會上，一直無法提升，我們如何能與資方或管理階層議價呢？
If the status of trade unions cannot be enhanced under the law or in society how can workers bargain with employers or the management?
當一個民選機構也無法超越勞顧會，試問我們如何能維護基本的勞工權益呢？
If an institution elected by the people cannot override LAB how can we protect the fundamental rights of labour?
政府經常把責任推卸給勞顧會，但勞顧會除了組成上有問題外，還要是閉門舉行會議的，沒有人知道討論內容，透明度並不高，而政府則跟勞顧會一唱一和。
The Government always shift the responsibility onto LAB . Yet the composition of LAB is problematic . Worse still its meetings are convened behind closed doors with low transparency and no one knows what have been discussed with the Government and LAB often echoing each other
主席，我動議我經修改的修正案，進一步修正經何啟明議員、蔣麗芸議員、胡志偉議員及盧偉國議員修正的吳永嘉議員議案。
President I move that Mr Jimmy NGs motion as amended by Mr HO Kai - ming Dr CHIANG Lai - wan Mr WU Chi - wai and Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok be further amended by my revised amendment . I call on Members to support it
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：莫乃光議員就經何啟明議員、蔣麗芸議員、胡志偉議員及盧偉國議員修正的吳永嘉議員議案動議的修正案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That Mr Charles Peter MOKs amendment to Mr Jimmy NGs motion as amended by Mr HO Kai - ming Dr CHIANG Lai - wan Mr WU Chi - wai and Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok be passed
雖然原議案本身是一些比較原則性的說法，而他的黨友陸頌雄議員亦提出一些修訂，但我不太注重這些技術細節，尤其是主席既然也容許他們這樣處理，我認為也沒有所謂，最重要的是我們是否贊同當中的內容。
While the contents of the original motion have more to do with points of principle and his party comrade Mr LUK Chung - hung has proposed some amendments to it I do not care much about these technical details especially as the President already allowed them to do it this way and I have no strong view on this arrangement for the most important thing is whether we agree to the contents
相信局長及政府也知道得很清楚。
I believe the Secretary and the Government are well aware of this too
我們主要針對的問題是甚麼？
What are the problems we mainly seek to address?
其實，在上屆政府上台時，我們都抱有很高期望，因為前特首進行了一場很好的選戰，其中一個原因是他打"基層牌"，開了很多"空頭支票"，但很不幸，這種"口硬手軟"的做法，結果是很多事情最後也做不到。
In fact when the last - term Government took office we had very high expectations of it . It is because the former Chief Executive had fought a nice battle in his electioneering campaign and one of the reasons was that he had played the grass roots card and issued many dishonoured cheques . But unfortunately as a result of this approach of all words but no actions many of these pledges made then were eventually not honoured
最近九龍巴士有限公司的一宗個案揭露了數個問題，包括集體談判權；資方強，勞工弱，沒有議價條件；工時長，甚至政府就一些特定行業訂立的規定，例如巴士司機的駕車時數，亦非常不合理，因為根據有關規定，司機駕駛10多小時也屬合理，只要不是連續工作及讓司機有休息時間便可，令人聽到也感到很心酸。
A recent case involving the Kowloon Motor Bus 1933 Limited KMB has revealed problems in several respects including the right to collective bargaining the situation of the employers being strong while the workers being weak without any bargaining power and long working hours and worse still the regulations made by the Government for specific industries such as the driving hours of bus drivers are most unreasonable because under the regulations it is still reasonable for a driver to drive for over 10 hours as long as the driver does not drive continuously and is given a rest break . How pitiable
上屆政府匆匆訂立合約工時，我們認為這其實很明顯是"搵笨"。
The last - term Government hastily introduced the contractual working hours which we consider to be an obvious rip - off
當時經過很長時間的討論，最後在很短時間內便通過合約工時，取代萬眾一直期待的標準工時概念。
There had been discussions for a long time and in the end the contractual working hours were approved in a short span of time to replace the concept of standard working hours long awaited by the public
老實說，正如我剛才也提及，而一些同事剛才發言時也說過，在權力不平衝的情況下，資方在一個極度強弱懸殊的狀態下，其實很容易在議價過程中"找着數"，難道工人可以不幹活嗎？
Honestly as I mentioned just now and as some Honourable colleagues also said in their speeches earlier where there is an imbalance of power and one side having overwhelming superiority over the other side it is actually very easy for employers to take advantage of employees in the course of bargaining . Could the workers quit their jobs?
我覺得對工友來說，這不是一個公平的議價市場。
To the workers I think this is not a fair market for bargaining
但是，政府卻很喜歡在這種情況下談市場而不談法例、不談政府介入。
But under these circumstances the Government very much likes to talk about the market but not the law; nor does it talk about government intervention
所以，我覺得局長亟需要盡快糾正這問題。
I think it is imperative for the Secretary to rectify this problem expeditiously
我們今天有很多討論，相信商界亦有不同意見。
We have had a lot of discussion today and I think the business sector has different views
不過，局長請你留意，這一點很特別，因為最低限度我聽到商界大部分的人對此是有共識的。
But Secretary please pay attention to this point which is special because at least from most of the views that I have heard from the business sector there is a consensus on this point
我知道其他方面，例如勞工顧問委員會，有不同意見，但如果局長留意或尊重議會內的商界代表政府平時很尊重他們，沒理由這次不尊重他們自由黨也認同這項民主黨共同提出的"基金池"概念。
I understand that other parties such as the Labour Advisory Board may take exception to this point . But if the Secretary pays heed to or respects the representatives of the business sector in this Council―The Government usually respects them and there is no reason not to respect them this time around―The Liberal Party also agrees to this fund pool concept proposed jointly by the Democratic Party
我覺得這其實是很值得考慮的做法，讓我們可以盡快落實取消強積金對沖機制。
I think this approach does merit consideration in order for the abolition of the MPF offsetting mechanism to be implemented expeditiously
至於工傷方面，主席，我特別提及《工廠及工業經營條例》及《職業安全及健康條例》兩項條例，我也沒有時間詳細說明，但我想提出兩個案例，讓大家知道有關情況。
As regards industrial injuries President I particularly mentioned the Industrial Undertakings Ordinance and the Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance . I do not have time to go into the details but I wish to cite two cases so that Members can see the picture
根據現時的條例規定，如果有僱主違反相關條例，導致工友傷亡，最高罰款可達50萬元及監禁6個月。
Under the current provisions in law an employer who acts against the relevant legislation and hence causes casualties of workers is liable to a maximum penalty of a fine at 500,000 and six months imprisonment
這聽起來好像很多錢，但如果大家想想，最高罰款只是50萬元，這即是說之前我們看到港珠澳大橋的意外，以至很多時候聽到的嚴重工業意外，即使有工友身亡，最高也只是賠償50萬元，而對於罔顧工業安全的僱主，最重也只是監禁6個月。
It sounds to be a large amount of money but think about this The maximum fine is only 500,000 . It means that for the accident at the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge that occurred some time ago as well as the serious industrial accidents that we can often hear of even if fatalities of workers are involved the maximum compensation is only 500,000 and for employers who neglected industrial safety the maximum penalty is just six months imprisonment
因此，我認為需要大幅提升有關罰則，亦希望律政司可以考慮在量刑指引上作出修訂。
Therefore I think it is necessary to substantially increase the penalty . I also hope that the Department of Justice can consider introducing amendments to the sentencing guidelines . Besides concerning the right to collective bargaining just now I mentioned a case involving KMB
此外，有關集體談判權，我剛才也提到九巴的個案，這次事件真的相當經典，九巴固然扭盡六壬地想"走法律罅"，趁員工成立工會前解僱有關車長，以免違反歧視職工會的條例，但對於這宗個案，我記 憶中特首好像也有作出回應，而羅致光局長以至張建宗司長也有出來表示關注，說不容許有人"走法律罅"，我記得局長說一定會查明。
This incident is indeed most typical . KMB certainly wanted to exploit the loopholes in law by hook or by crook and intended to sack the bus captains concerned prior to their setting up a workers union in order not to break the law on discrimination against trade unions . With regard to this case I remember that the Chief Executive seemed to have given a response while Secretary Dr LAW Chi - kwong and even Chief Secretary for Administration Matthew CHEUNG also came forth to express concern stressing intolerance of people exploiting the loopholes in law
當然，我們知道當中是有一些"走法律罅"的技術位，但公道自在人心，它的動機很明顯便是要壓制工友的集體談判權。
I recall that the Secretary had vowed to get to the bottom of it . Of course we understand that there are ways that make it technically possible for them to get around the law but justice lies in the peoples hearts and its motive was clearly to suppress the workers right to collective bargaining
所以，香港一日未有法例及機制界定集體談判權，工友也是無法真正得到勞工保障。
Therefore so long as there is no legislation and mechanism defining the right to collective bargaining in Hong Kong it would remain impossible for workers to be truly afforded labour protection
主席，最後我想說兩點。
To end President I wish to make two points
就法定最低工資"一年一檢"，這也是很簡單易明的道理。
Concerning the proposal for review of the statutory minimum wage rate once every year the reason is also easy to understand
當中的理由很簡單，便是加價不會等人，如果生活費沒有相應增加，當其他物價指數上升時，工友的工資實際是滯後一年。
The reason is simple . It is because price hikes do not wait and without a corresponding increase in the provision for living expenses the workers wages actually suffer a lag of one year as other price indexes go up
代理主席，香港依靠輕工業和製造業起家，但在1980年代起工業北移，本地生產線逐步遷移國內，在一些地方較大、租金較便宜及人工成本較低的地方運作，只保留設計和研發等工序在本地進行。
Deputy President Hong Kong has relied on the light industry and manufacturing industry for its early development . However with the northward migration of industries since the 1980s local production lines have been gradually relocated to some Mainland places where industries can be operated with more space lower rents and lower labour costs . Only such work processes as design and research and development RD have remained in Hong Kong
自此，香港經濟開始轉型，逐步過渡至以服務業和金融業為主。
Since then Hong Kongs economy has started restructuring gradually shifting its focus to the service and financial industries
在數據上，香港工業所佔GDP比例亦從1997年的6.1%，逐步下降至去年的1.1%。
Statistically speaking the proportion of industry in Hong Kongs GDP has gradually reduced from 6.1 % in 1997 to 1.1 % last year
上屆政府提出香港"再工業化"的目標，希望以此作為新經濟增長點。
Putting forward the goal of re - industrialization the Government of the last term hoped to turn re - industrialization into a new area of economic growth
時至今日，我們談"再工業化"，當然不是指要把已轉移至內地，甚至其他東南亞國家的生產線搬回香港。
Nowadays when we talk about re - industrialization we certainly do not mean the relocation of our production lines which had moved to the Mainland or even some Southeast Asian countries back to Hong Kong
事實上，香港缺乏土地、人工成本高，從事工業勞動的人口極少，我們難以再走回頭路。
In fact given our shortage of land high labour costs and a very small working population engaging in the industrial sector it is very difficult for us to backtrack
在全球化的衝擊下，產業競賽模式已由早期工業化的大量和密集式生產，演變成腦力與創意的競爭，藉以推動高科技的發展。
As a result of globalization the mode of industrial competition has evolved with mass and labour - intensive production at the early stage of industrialization replaced by a competition in terms of mental capacity and creativity with a view to promoting the development of high technology
