A delegate from the business mission Mr Lo Wee Tick, Business Development Director of AEM Holdings, said “Meeting with officials in such regions will help set the stage for us to better understand their thoughts on China’s “dual-circulation” concept to localize foreign companies and therefore, what help they can offer to realize this plan.”
