Canadians feature prominently at the Hong Kong Forum, according to the National Post. The Forum is the same event which took our own contributor Carla Kearns to Hong Kong to be reacquainted with the city. Here’s an excerpt from Duncan Mavin’s story:
Canadians outnumbered delegates from any other country by a huge margin at the ninth annual Hong Kong Forum, a meeting of international businesses with links to the self-styled gateway to China.
More than a third of the 443 delegates packed into the convention centre at the harbourside Grand Hyatt on Thursday were from Canadian businesses, universities and trade organizations, a reflection, many seemed to agree, not only of Canada’s large Hong Kong-born population, but also of the importance of Hong Kong and China to Canada’s future economic success.
“How you do in China is going to impact how well you do overall in the medium and long term,” said Zane Moi, Asia-Pacific director of Waterloo, Ont.’s Research in Motion Ltd.
