

For centuries it was a major administrative, shipping, and trading town, and grew in importance in the 19th century due to its location and economic potential. The city was one of five forced open to foreign trade following the British victory over China in the First Opium War. After some time the city then flourished as a center of commerce between east and west. After the Communist Party takeover of the mainland in 1949, trade focused on socialist countries, and the city's global influence declined. In the 1990s, Deng Xiaoping started economic reforms which led to re-development of the city, and foreign investment to the city.

Drag the words into the correct boxes What tartan is Tartan is a pattern consisting of criss-crossed horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colours. Tartan is usually associated with Scotland. Scottish kilts, or garments wrapped around men's waists, almost always have tartan patterns. Description of tartan Tartans originated in woven wool, but now they are made using different materials. It is made with alternating bands of coloured threads woven as both warp and weft at right angles to each other. The patterns are simply different checked-cloth patterns, chosen by the wearer's preference. It was not until the mid-nineteenth century that many patterns were created and artificially associated with Scottish clans, families, or institutions who were (or wished to be seen as) associated in some way with a Scottish heritage. During the 1700s In Scotland, the Dress Act of 1746 attempted to bring the warrior clans under government control by banning the tartan and other aspects of Gaelic culture. When the law was taken away in 1782, it was no longer ordinary Highland dress, but was instead used as the symbolic national dress of Scotland. Post 1700s History Until the middle of the nineteenth century, the highland tartans were only associated with either regions or districts, rather than any specific Scottish clan. This was because tartan designs were produced by local weavers and would usually only use the natural dyes available in that area. A a Common and Beloved Item of Clothing It is generally believed that the most popular tartans today are the Black Watch (also known as Old Campbell, Grant Hunting, Universal, Government), and the Royal Stewart. Modern Application of This Design Today tartan is no longer limited to textiles, but is used on non-woven mediums, such as paper, plastics, packaging, and wall coverings.

It then expanded into making electricity and telephone cables. In the 1970s, it started making military equipment for Finland’s army, and in 1981 it opened the Mordic Mobilemdc Telephone service which was the world’s first international cellular network.

Superpower within the telecoms market Nokia previously dominated the mobile phone markets and helped to develop technologies such as GSM and LTE.
