Step-by-step solution
This sentence "A particular obstacle which local industrialists have to overcome or learn to live with is the shortage of land and the high price that must be paid for suitable manufacturing sites" discusses the shortcomings of trading in Hong Kong, whereas the main focus of the paragraph is the benefits of trading.
