China is a highly regionalized economy.  Dr. Ip and Dr. Shive will discuss regional options for various American businesses.  They will especially focus on business opportunities in the Hong Kong/ Pearl River Delta region. The Hong Kong - South China business connection pioneered China's economic reforms.  With China in the WTO, this new "workshop for the world" – with Hong Kong as its hub - is driving growth in foreign investment, exports to the global economy, and production for the expanding domestic markets of China.
