Traditional Chinese

啊香港在英國人統治之下已經超過一百五十年了。所以對於對於香港來講說，那個法律程式來講呢，和合同的進程來講，一般的香港人也是很接受也是尊重的。所以說這點可能在香港跟美國之間做生意，對合同來講，那個進程的尊重呢可能是沒有很大的分別。當然在香港的合同呢訂一時候，可能沒有含像美國那麼仔細，要求那麼多。但說對著合同的尊重呢，我想兩地之間基本上是沒有分別。唯一差別說合同方面的那個精密程度來講，可能是兩地有一點分別。但說對合同的尊重呢應該是分別不大。

Simplified Chinese

啊香港在英国人统治之下已经超过一百五十年了。所以对于对于香港来讲说，那个法律程序来讲呢，和合同的进程来讲，一般的香港人也是很接受也是尊重的。所以说这点可能在香港跟美国之间做生意，对合同来讲，那个进程的尊重呢可能是没有很大的分别。当然在香港的合同呢訂一時后，可能没有含像美国那么仔细，要求那么多。但说对着合同的尊重呢，我想两地之间基本上是没有分别。唯一差别说合同方面的那个精密程度来讲，可能是两地有一点分别。但说对合同的尊重呢应该是分别不大。

English

Hong Kong was under English control for more than 150 years. So, for Hong Kong, legal procedures and contractual processes… generally, Hong Kongese accept and respect them. So, in this respect, when Hong Kongese and Americans do business together, they probably… as far as contracts go, their respect for procedures, it’s not very different. Of course, when terms are set on contracts in Hong Kong, they probably don’t contain as much detail, not as many demands as American ones. But in the respect for contracts, I think there’s basically no difference in the two places. The only difference as far as contracts go is in their degree of precision. That’s probably a difference between the two places. But there’s little difference in their respect for contracts.
