He told the audience that China is a land of opportunity for Canadian companies, and Hong Kong is the gateway to this emerging economic and industrial powerhouse. "If Canadians could combine the advantages that come from our natural bounty and diverse population with the creativity and work ethic that typify Hong Kong, the result would be a world-beater," he said. |
