Opportunities galore

China's accession to the WTO presents once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for Hong Kong, and local businessmen are in an unparalleled position to capture them, Henry Tang tells the audience at the Chamber's 9th Annual Hong Kong Business Summit

Hong Kong's economic success has and will continue to be built upon doing business with the Mainland. As such, Hong Kong firms should look to expand their presence in the Pearl River Delta to drive their business and the SAR's economic growth forward, Secretary for Commerce, Industry and Technology Henry Tang said.   More >>


Analysts bullish on housing market prospects for 2003

All signals are green for the housing market to start its recovery this year, but more should be done to stimulate the secondary market

Pent-up demand and record low interest rates could push demand for new flats up by as much as 40 per cent in 2003, analysts at the Chamber's December 11 seminar on housing said.   More >>



When China awakens, she shall travel the world

"China is like a sleeping giant. And when she awakes, she shall astonish the world," a famous Frenchman once said in 1803. For this article we will paraphrase that to: "When China awakes, she shall travel the world."   More >>


Nine months' GDP data show mixed results

The news released in late November couldn't have been better: Hong Kong's economy grew 3.3 per cent in the third quarter, far above most economists' expectations. The results would seem to indicate that the worst is over, and the recovery is gaining ground. As demand kicks in, prices will start to rise, which will erase our deflation and help solve that worrying budget deficit.   More >>


Economic integration of the Yangtze River Delta

The Yangtze River Delta, -- an economic giant made up of 15 cities including Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou -- has experienced phenomenal growth over the past decade, with Shanghai leading the race. Today, the Yangtze River Delta produces 23.5 per cent of China's industrial production and accounts for 17.2 per cent of the nation's GDP -- not bad for 6.2 per cent of China's population, working on 1 per cent of its land.  More >>



Mission to the Yangtze River Delta

Chamber China Committee Chairman and CEO of Dragonair Stanley Hui led a 36-member Chamber delegation to visit five major cities in the Yangtze River Delta, namely Hangzhou, Ningbo, Wenzhou, Shanghai and Kunshan, from December 4 to 10, 2002.  More >>



Telstra calling Asia

Despite investor sentiment around the world for the telecommunications sector remaining negative, the Asian market could lift the whole industry out of the doldrums, says Telstra Chairman Robert Mansfield

Asia represents 36 per cent of the world's telecommunications market, making it the largest such market in the world, up from 22 per cent from a decade ago.   More >>


Operation Smile Mission to China

The Chamber Women Executives Club (WEC) members, together with international medical professionals from Operation Smile, visited Zhongshan, China, on November 28, to see how they could provide assistance to children with facial deformities.   More >>
