  • CY Leung: Hong Kong Is “Your Super-connector to China”

    By CY Leung, Chief Executive of Hong Kong

    (Mr. C Y Leung delivered this speech at a luncheon in Cambridge, Mass., hosted by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, New York on May 5, 2015. Representative of bostonese.com attended this luncheon.)

    Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, colleagues,

    Good afternoon. I’m very pleased to be with you today in Boston, my first official visit here, one I’ve been looking forward to for a long time. I am even more interested in visiting Boston when I read, a few weeks ago, that Boston had been named one of the world’s most livable cities in the Mercer 2015 Quality of Living rankings.

    Of course, the people of Boston don’t need me or Mercer to tell them that they’ve got a good thing going: a city renowned for its community spirit; a city long celebrated as an international powerhouse in education; a city fast-emerging as a global business and technology hub.
