Here we are in the midst of the Hong Kong summer with scorching temperatures and high humidity, air conditioners running flat out to make the temperatures livable, which if the scientists are believed is simply stoking up the temperatures even further.  What is the solution one might ask? Can we individually make a difference?

You would think that this would be a quiet time as in most years yet to my surprise it has proved to be full of different things.  The subjects that have struck me most have been a couple of briefings which members have given recently. The first of given by James Pearson of Black Swan gave an uncannily clear briefing on the global economic forces that are reaching us even here in Hong Kong.  I have to say that I found the well argued conclusions that he came to troubling.

The dominant features of the week have of course been the 12th Anniversary of the change of sovereignty and the creation of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China and for me the opportunity to attend the 5th Members Congress of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade Guangzhou.
