A confusing turn of events over the past week that now has the Hong Kong American Chamber of Commerce spearheading the movement to get the US a pavillion at the 2010 World Expo. Am I the only one wondering why the HK Amcham is taking the lead on this matter? I know the Shanghai Amhcam has been working on this in coordination with the Beijing chamber for the past year, but to no avail. This really is a matter of American corporations coming together for the mutual good of our future face as business managers and owners in the China landscape. It will be an embarasment if we do not have a pavillion. This is now the second time I am petitioning for all American business owners to write your Senators and Reps, get them to make an initiative from the states. I don’t need to pull out a calculator to tell you that the money needed for the pavilion project is peanuts compared to the financial meltdown war chest that has been opened over the past 5-1/2 months. If you are reading this and you are American and you are a business owner, and you have not yet written your officials in Washington, then open your mailbox and get writing today!
