When it comes to China, separating fact from friction is no easy task. But that is the task of our CHINA NOW series. Each of our four episodes features an expert exploring China today, including frank discussions about doing business there and about emerging opportunities.
The series moderator is Doug Horner, former Alberta Deputy Premier and Ministers of both Finance and Agriculture.
In Episode 1, Doug introduces LU Xu, the Consul General of China in Calgary. She presents the many reasons and prime opportunities for Canada to do business with China. The series was produced by KEI Network for Troy Media.
