Distinguished Mr. Hawke:

Ladies and gentlemen:

At this beautiful time of September, today guest from home and abroad get together at the city of Wuxi. First of al, on behalf of Asian American Republican National Federation, I'd like to extend my appreciation to Wuxi Municipal Government and Committee of Asia-Pacific CEOs Association for your warm welcome and gracious hospitality. And I would also like to express my congratulations to the successful opening of this summit.

China’s peaceful rising has attracted the whole world's attention. The key point is we inherited Confucianism. It is of great help to integrate both Confucianism and western management expertise into corporate operation.

Economic prosperity in today‘s China come from the time-honored Chinese civilization, the people's wisdom, and creativity. Economic development will not only rely on a system or law, but the inner spirit of a nation. Similarly the world economic development and prosperity is not only the results of the cooperation in economy and politics but also the cooperation in culture.

Finally on behalf of all the guests here,  I'd like to express my sincere thanks to Chairman Zheng Xiongwei, Mayor Mao Xiaoping and the Committee of International Cooperation Summit for Asia-Pacific CEOs and Provincial Governors and Mayors. The beautiful Wuxi impressed me a lot.

I wish this summit a great success!

Thank you!
