October 17, 2001 Buy Hawaii The following members of The Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii are extending the Aloha Spirit to help each other and our Hawaii community. We know that by working together and helping each other, Hawaii's business community will become stronger than ever. Please visit the following link to obtain the complete list in Adobe PDF format. Download Complete List in PDF File Format October 1, 2001 September was a very difficult month for many of our members and friends in the United States and around the world. As things are going back to normal, putting our business and personal life together. One has to reflect on how events happened from close and afar will affect each and everyone of our lives. A special message on behalf of Chamber of Commerce is listed under the President's Corner. I left Honolulu for Seattle on Sept 10th to attend business meetings in Seattle and Vancouver. I was upbeat when I arrived in late evening on Sept 10th. I thought it would have been 9 days of work, meetings and a round of golf with the Members, Officers and Directors of the Hong Kong Association of Northern California in Whistler, Canada. When I woke up 9 hours later, I had witness live on TV the terrors that hit New York and Washington DC. With the help of the Cellular Phone, Email and Internet, I have managed to get hold of and continue to stay in touch with my clients and relatives in the East Coast, Hawaii, United States and Other Parts of the World. I have to also make the tough decision whether we should continue or cancel our September 25th - Doing Business in Hong Kong, China & its Neighboring Economic Regions Seminar to be held at the Asia Room, East West Center. We have decided the seminar should go on not allowing the terrorists to hold us hostage by changing our business, personal and daily life. September 25th Seminar was a sold out event. We were also honored to have Mr. Robert G. Lee, Secretary General of the Pacific Basin Economic Council to present a timely subject - Terrorist Attack on America, Effects on USA-Asia Trade and Investments (go to the photo album page to view event photo). It was the 2nd sold out event I know of focus on Hong Kong. The 1st one was the Hong Kong Change Over on June 30, 1997. At the time, many people thought Hong Kong may see the end of the rule of law, a democratic society and freedom of speech. It was a celebrated event with a lot of worries beneath the celebrations. Hong Kong (HKSAR) way of life has not changed due to the Change Over to the PRC under "One Country Two Systems" (see newsletter page for detail). Our September 25th sold out event carry a very different theme, a positive theme! People are interested to do business in Hong Kong or with China through Hong Kong. China pending admittance into the WTO (probably by year end) and successfully winning the right to host the 2008 Olympic provide opportunities for Hawaii Companies. Attendees have spent 4 1/2 hours listening to 13 speakers sharing their expertise and more than 200 years of combined experiences. The messages from the speakers were when doing business overseas - be prepared and finding the right partners. For companies entering the China market for the 1st time, take advantage of Hong Kong's experiences and knowledge. A trade/business match-making mission is planned for Dec 3 - 10, 2001 to Hong Kong and Southern China. If you are interest or want to find out more about it, please go to our "speaker's notes" page to download the survey form in pdf format and return to us by October 10th. 10 more new members have joined us on October 1st making us one of the biggest, if not the biggest Hong Kong and Hong Kong-China focus Chamber of Commerce in Hawaii. Our focus is 100% business. Our mission is "Getting Things Done" with results. Our Tax Exempt Status has been approved by the Internal Revenue Service under Code Section 501(c)(6). Please contact our Office if you have further questions. Johnson W. K. Choi, MBA, RFC.
