Why Are The Chinese Investing Overseas And Is Hawaii Benefiting From These?

China is growing in wealth and power and is projected to overtake the U.S. in GDP in the 2020’s. The Chinese government is actively encouraging both state-owned and privately-owned enterprises and individuals to seek overseas investments and the U.S. is increasingly a destination for Chinese investments. However, by all accounts, Hawaii is being by-passed by the Chinese investors in favor of cities like LA, SF, NY and Houston. The speaker will discuss the importance for Hawaii businesses to understand the reasons for the Chinese seeking overseas investments in order to better position Hawaii to attract these investments.
