Academic: Focus should be on regional difference

China
is not one big economic behemoth growing at 8-9 per cent a year,
but rather a series of regional economies.
If
you look at it province by province, you will discover up to 100
economies loosely coupled together some galloping at breakneck
speed while others lagging a little further behind, according
to Professor Michael Enright from the University of Hong Kong.

People
in regions deserve fair share

Traditionally,
the Chinese have always sought balance in all aspects of life
as can be seen with the Confucian Golden Mean. But the notion
may be more idealistic than realistic, particularly when considering
economic concepts.
The
economies of China and the United States are not on an equal footing.
But it is precisely because of vast discrepancies in wage levels
and lower costs that China, with a per capita gross domestic product
(GDP) level comparable to less than one-20th of the United States,
can compete with the North American country in the world market
and be considered an equal trading partner.

Brief
Introduction
|
|
|
China
Daily CEO Roundtable (CDRT), a Hong Kong-based division
of China Daily Group, provides opportunities for senior
executives from multinational companies to share, learn
and probe issues with speakers in open discussions about
China's economic development and the business challenges
the nation faces.
It is run as an informal meeting where movers and shakers
well-versed in business in China can brainstorm.
Over
30 top executives from Hong Kong's business community gathered
on April 20, 2004 for the first CDRT. Discussion centred
around China's uneven regional development and how it will
impact on foreign investment and business expansion within
the country.
CDRT
will now be taken on the road to other cities such as Beijing,
Shanghai and Guangzhou, so participants can access local
government officials, companies and the executives of multinationals
in an interactive setting.
