East-West Center launches 'Asia matters for America' website: www.AsiaMattersforAmerica.org for reference.
The new Hong Kong Commissioner for Economic and Trade Affairs in the US is Donald Tong. As commissioner, Mr. Tong will continue Hong Kong's efforts to enhance economic, trade and cultural ties with the US. US relations with Hong Kong have been characterized by cooperation on a range of issues, such as economic and trade development, counter terrorism and global health protection with market-based philosophy and common values. Hong Kong is SAR of People's Republic of China. Chinese folks in Hong Kong share cultural tradition with China. Trade is to honor the Law of Comparative Advantage with mutual benefit. US and China are in the same boat on earth. I remember a popular song in 1940s: "I love to get you on a slow boat to China,all the way,alone." Quite Romantic,indeed!
As an Honorary citizen of Honolulu,Hawaii since 1969 and as a former Fulbright Senior Scholar,1989-1990,I am dedicated to the economic globalization for the unity of the East and the West.
Francis Shieh a.k.a. Xie Shihao,i.e. "Thanks from a hero of poetry" in name only. I claim to be an educator from the East with my teaching experience in Shanghai from 1945-1947 and the West(1947-to date) with continuing interest as a learner to witness the interwoven link of the USA and China in the 21st century.
