1:00 pm Grand Rooms I to IV	Luncheon address: Geopolitical Outlook for Asia and the World The economy is the engine that is driving China’s rise towards becoming the next global power. China’s economic liberalization, focus on high-technology and manufacturing, and low-cost labor supply have turned the country into a formidable exporting machine. Its rising class has purchasing power of unprecedented scale and scope. Efforts at reforming major industrial sectors are slowly paying off. Renewed relations with its neighbors in Asia clearly demonstrate China’s proclivity to become a regional player. How will the world, including Asia, accommodate China’s peaceful rise as a global power? What challenges will China pose to the current geopolitical system? With its economic clout and soft political power, what type of role does China want to have in the world? Welcome Remarks Victor K. Fung Chairman, Li and Fung Group Opening Remarks Lawrence J. Lau Vice-Chancellor, Chinese University of Hong Kong Keynote speaker: William Perry Former Secretary of Defense, United States of America Moderator: Ronnie C. Chan Chairman, Hang Lung Group Limited
