Best Answer

New York and Hong Kong are considered one of the "Big Three" cities (the other is London).

Both cities serve as focal points of trade in their respective continents and international trade. Hong Kong manages and controls trade within Asia while New York does the same with North and Central America. They are also major trading partners and both have a World Trade Center (the New York World Trade Center was relocated after 9/11).

Hong Kong, being an island, does not grow any products of its own. It is a major manufacturing and trading port that takes in raw materials from surrounding Asian nations and converts them into finished products.

New York is an international trading port as well, importing and exporting raw and finished materials.
