Hong Kong Elites Discuss World Affairs at Banquet: It is Recommended That Hong Kong’s “One Country, Two Systems” Be Extended for Another 50 Years!
Chairman of the World Chinese Business Association, Li Nonghe, invited friends to a small banquet in Hong Kong yesterday with the theme of international trends and the future. Attendees included former Financial Secretary of Hong Kong, Mr. Tsang Chun-wah, former member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and known as the father of futures, Mr. Liu Mengxiong, famous American investor Chairman Xiao Gang, philanthropist and Executive Chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, Professor Lang Xianping, a famous economist, and Chairman Gong Gaofeng, a famous entrepreneur. Secretary Tsang Chun-wah was formerly the Director of Science and Technology, Director of the General Administration of Customs, Financial Secretary, and candidate for the third Chief Executive of Hong Kong.
The attendees of the small forum in the form of a dinner are all top people, and the speeches are brilliant. The attendees of the previous small banquets have included members of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, political and business celebrities, or chairmen of many main board listed companies. The small banquet forum is a prelude to the 35th anniversary celebration of the World Chinese Business Association this year. Its format is relaxed and unique. It has injected a dose of stimulant into the sluggish Hong Kong economy and has formed a cultural landscape.
Chairman Liu Mengxiong said that if Hong Kong wants to be truly glorious again, he suggested that the “one country, two systems” policy be extended for another 50 years. Secretary Tsang Chun-wah said that the internationalization of the RMB should play a greater role in Hong Kong, while famous investor Long Teng-xiao suggested that the Hong Kong dollar should be decoupled from the US dollar. Professor Lang still commented on the current capabilities of the Hong Kong government. The three-hour dinner was like a small forum, with celebrities expressing their own opinions, which were both consistent and inconsistent, and also consistent and inconsistent, with climaxes one after another.
At the end, Dr. Liu Mengxiong, who has served as the Executive Chairman of the World Chinese Business Council, solemnly introduced the overview of the Global Chamber of Commerce Presidents Association. The association is a global association jointly initiated by the World Chinese Business Council, the German Business Council, and the World Korean Chamber of Commerce, and is chaired by the eighth Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon. The organization will unite global business giants to exchange what they have. The office building is being renovated and is expected to be officially opened within a month. By then, chamber of commerce leaders from 200 countries around the world are expected to gather in Hong Kong, which will not only make Hong Kong shine again as the Pearl of the Orient, but also contribute to the sustainable development of mankind.
