BACKGROUND:
Hong Kong is the gateway to the Chinese Mainland. With economic
opportunities in China steadily on the rise, Hong Kong has proven
to be an effective business platform for small and medium enterprises
in the United States to enter the vast Chinese Mainland market.
With the creation of the Closer
Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA) and a new Pan-Pearl
River Delta (Pan-PRD) Regional Co-operation Framework Agreement
in place, Hong Kong has become even more valuable as a strategic
partner for any company interested in sourcing, producing and
selling in China. Strong economic ties between Hong Kong and the
United States suggest that an ever-increasing number of U.S. businesses
are using the channels, knowledge and skills that Hong Kong offers
to manage and co-ordinate their mainland activities.
As the U.S. gateway to the Pacific, Southern California is the
definitive position from which businesses can capitalize on these
abundant overseas opportunities. And as numerous establishments
can positively attest, membership in the Hong
Kong Association of Southern California (HKASC) provides not
only an opening to local networking channels, but also a competitive
edge in the business world.
A member association of the Federation
of Hong Kong Business Associations Worldwide (FHKBAW), HKASC
offers its business partners worldwide access to the international
business community. Within the FHKBAW network, members can interact
with organizations spanning 22 countries and over 8,000 business
leaders.
HKASC is also one of the founding Member Organizations of the
National U.S.
Hong Kong Business Association (NUSHKBA) providing stronger
ties and more networking opportunities for its members with their
counterparts located throughout the United States including Atlanta,
Hawaii, the Midwest, New York, Northern California, Northern Texas,
Philadelphia and Washington state.
