Notes:	*	Though no data was available for the year 2001, figures for 1995 and 1999 indicate no major difference in the overall pattern of trade indicated above.
	**	Blank areas indicate that no figures were provided. This does not mean that there was not trade; rather, that it was not sufficiently large to be considered major. For example, although Hong Kong imports a large amount from Japan, Japan receives little in return from Hong Kong that is not in the form of re-exports probably from China.
