Interestingly, the moment some large companies are asked about 1997 they nervously stress: "We'll do whatever the government regulations require." As for medium and small enterprises, they are taking things one step at a time and take the view that as they don't have factories or offices in Hong Kong, they won't lose too much by pulling out.
有趣的是，一些大企業一聽到九七，就神經敏感地一再表明「政府怎麼規定我們就怎麼做」，至於中小企業則是走一步算一步，反正在香港沒廠沒店，就算撤離也損失不大。
