The first of four episodes explores the Indo-Asia economy and Canadian export opportunities in agriculture and energy. The first episode features a presentation by LU Xu, the Consul General of the People’s Republic of China in Calgary. She is quite forthright in clarifying misinformation about China and its interest in doing business with Canada.
The series was produced by KEI Network for Troy Media.
