“Look at the number of Australians living here in Hong Kong, many of whom are reaping benefits that are a direct result of integration of the Pearl River Delta, proximity to the rapidly developing cities of southern China, and the enormous markets China offers Australia.

“Hong Kong will continue to be the world’s doorway into China, and China’s window on the world for the foreseeable future.  Australians here are living in one of the most exciting cities in the world at a very opportune and exciting time, and just as the Asians who study in our country develop relationships, which in turn transform into business networks and resulting opportunities, so too the Australians in Asia are doing a great deal to grow relationships while living here. “It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved.”
