Wong MNC Center sponsors April 22 Asia Society China High Tech Investment in US Shanghai report launch

The Wong MNC Center sponsored the successful launch of the Asia Society and Rhodium Group co-produced report "High Tech: The Next Wave of Chinese Investment in the US" in Shanghai, China on April 22, 2014. The launch, co-hosted by the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, drew an audience of about 70 attorneys, investment bankers, consultant, academics, journalists (foreign and Chinese), and Chinese government officials. It involved a video presentation of the aforementioned report by a principal of the Rhodium Group coupled with a rich panel discussion involving bankers, consultants, and attorneys that had varying forms and degrees of involvement in Chinese outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) in the US and the US high-tech sector. The panel discussion and the lively question & answer period that followed it touched upon the factual aspects of Chinese OFDI in the US high-tech sector as well as the business, cultural, and political issues facing those involved in such investment transactions. The Wong MNC Center is pleased to have made a contribution to the dissemination of the report given its close links to the thematic mission of the Wong MNC Center as well as US-China relations.
