A slight diversion, just stumbled across this.  POET's a new member of the Canada China Business Council (CCBC)

The Leading Voice in Canada-China Business

At the Canada China Business Council, membership means business. We are a truly bilateral non-profit, membership-based organization with seven offices in both Canada and China. Founded in 1978, we have been the leading voice of Canada-China businesses for over 40 years and provide the knowledge and connections you need to succeed in China and Canada.

Canada China Business Council (CCBC) membership offers you and your organization the tools you need to succeed in China. With offices in both Canada and China, our team of professionals provides members with unrivalled business insight, intelligence, networks and connections to overcome the challenges of doing business in another country. We extend your organization’s reach in China by providing on-the-ground guidance and assistance.

CCBC’s services help you reduce your company’s risk, shorten your cycle time, and make better decisions – no matter your stage of China development. CCBC’s on-the-ground presence in China helps Canadian companies evaluate the market, enter more quickly, and connect to the resources that will help them succeed. Once established, CCBC helps solve problems and deepen your presence in China.
