The Better Hong Kong Foundation (“the Foundation”) has a long tradition of organizing annual speaking luncheon for the Foundation’s members, Consuls General and chairmen of international chambers of commerce in Hong Kong. The Foundation takes this opportunity to share our perspectives on developments in Hong Kong, mainland China as well as our region. This year, we were honored to have invited Weijian Shan, the Executive Chairman and Co-Founder, PAG to give a speech entitled “How will China achieve its growth target this year” at the luncheon.
