s WTO entry."
Chamber CEO Dr Eden Woon said, "A freer flow of talent between China and Hong Kong
will push economic integration of the two places further forward. In the face of economic
challenges and high unemployment here, it is hoped that Hong Kong people can continue to
enhance their skills and try to explore job opportunities in China. By working in the
Mainland, they can gain a better understanding of the China market, which will in turn
help them move up the value chain and have more room for career development. I am
delighted that the New Hope Group, a leading private enterprise in China, recognizes that
Hong Kong possesses a rich source of business talent. "
Mr Liu said, "With China now in the WTO, private enterprises in the Mainland see a
promising future for business growth. To enable these enterprises to align with the global
economy easier, we are looking for talent who can make contributions in achieving this
end. It is the objective of my current trip to Hong Kong to recruit a vice president, a
chief financial officer and several senior managers with international trade and
investment experience for the group."
During his discussion with Mr Liu, Dr Woon also briefed Mr Liu on the "One Company
One Job" campaign now underway. Since its launch, the local business community has
shown an overwhelming support. Many of the positions offered require employees to work in
the Mainland or travel frequently to China. The Chamber believes the trend of Hongkongers
working in the Mainland is growing as a result of closer economic integration between the
two places.
