China

Breath of the Dragon

27 March 2008

“There used to be a saying that if the US sneezed the world economy got a cold. In a few years they might be saying the same thing about China.”

Confucius Institute director Gary Sigley made the statement at the Breath of the Dragon, a Critical Horizons seminar.

The seminar looked at the growing impact of economic powerhouse China in the South West region of Australia, and helped to prepare South West residents for future opportunities with China.

Mr Sigley and fellow guest speakers Tan Song Huat and John Horgan provided members of the audience with a personal approach to doing business in China.
