PacificNet Ventures Joins US Consul General Goldberg's Trade Delegation to Guangxi Province

Beijing-October 17-PacificNet Ventures Participated in the China Guangxi Investment Mission 2008 led by US Consul General Robert Goldberg and Harley Seyedin, President of the American Chamber of Commerce in South China, from October 13-17 in Guangxi, China to seek market opportunities between the U.S. and China. The mission was jointly held by the Consul General of the United States Guangzhou Province, the American Chamber of Commerce in South China (AmCham) and the Guangxi Investment Promotion Bureau.

During the Trade Mission, Directors of PacificNet Ventures met with local governors and leaders including Mr. Zheng Kangjun, Mayor of Liuzhou, and Mr. Zhang Fuhai, Vice Mayor, to discuss business opportunities in the large and prosperous Guangxi Province, with a focus on the development of the Guangxi Beibu Gulf Special Economic Zone.

US Consul General Robert Goldberg commented, "In the course of my career I have been very involved in China's accession to the world and looking at China's economic development. I am looking forward to working with you to improve US-China relations and to further mutual understanding between the two countries. The trade relationship between South China and the United States is extremely important, as Guangdong alone accounts for about one-third of China's total exports. We hope to help American companies achieve the same kind of success in Guangxi as they have thrived in Guangdong province."

As the Consul General of the American Consulate in Guangzhou, Mr. Goldberg pledged to improve the overall relationship, especially economic ties, between South China and the United States. Coming to China for the first time in 1978, Mr. Goldberg has personally observed the dramatic transformation of Shenzhen from a fishing village to a part of the Pearl River Delta megalopolis and one of the wealthiest cities in China over the past two decades.

Mr. Victor Tong, Consultant of PacificNet Ventures, said, "We are delighted to be part of US Consul General Goldberg's Guangxi China trade delegation and to serve as an example of how an American technology company can succeed in China. "

Mr. ChoSam Tong, President of PacificNet Ventures, also expressed strong interests on the investment inspection activities of the delegation. He indicated: “I have deep affection to Liuzhou of Guangxi Province. It is a great honor to have the opportunity to return to the native place. Especially in recent years, as a coastal city in the southwest, Guangxi has been making vast changes and playing a pivotal role on the ASEAN Economic Circle and Pan-Pearl River Delta economic circle. We are also sincerely looking forward to cooperating with the local outstanding Enterprises, to display the respective superiority and achieve a long-term communal development."
