Topics and panel members  include:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;WHO: &lt;br&gt; &#8212; Paul Jacob, Chairman of RTKL, sponsor and a major presence&lt;br&gt; in China. 200 million people are expected to migrate to&lt;br&gt; China&#8217;s urban  areas by 2010. To accommodate this shift,&lt;br&gt; the Chinese Government has pumped billions of dollars into&lt;br&gt; infrastructure projects &#8211; roads, rail, subways, power&lt;br&gt; plants,  bridges and more &#8211; dwarfing the outlays spent on&lt;br&gt; the New Deal and Marshall Plan. Jacob will discuss the&lt;br&gt; modernization of China&#8217;s cities and the emergence of its&lt;br&gt; middle  class.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &#8212; Dr. Nao Matsukata, Chair of the Strategic and&lt;br&gt; International Business Practice at Hunton and Williams, a&lt;br&gt; leading international law firm.

Dr. Matsukata is the former Director of Policy and&lt;br&gt; Planning to US Trade Representative Robert Zoellick.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &#8212; Arvind Sachdeva, portfolio  manager with Victory Capital&lt;br&gt; Management, the asset management arm of KeyCorp. As China&lt;br&gt; rebuilds its cities and infrastructure, certain US&lt;br&gt; companies and sectors stand  to reap sizeable benefits.&lt;br&gt; Sachdeva will explore the likely winners and outline the&lt;br&gt; long-term investment opportunities for global investors.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &#8212; John  Trammell, CEO of Investor Select Advisors, a fund of&lt;br&gt; hedge funds that specializes in Asia investing. Hu Jintao&lt;br&gt; has hinted on plans to liberalize China&#8217;s investment&lt;br&gt;  environment. Simultaneously, there is tremendous pressure&lt;br&gt; on China to float the Yuan, which could open the country&lt;br&gt; to potentially dangerous derivative investing.  Trammell&lt;br&gt; will discuss the likelihood of investment liberalization,&lt;br&gt; currency reform and the impact for hedge fund investors.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;RSVP: Media wishing to attend  should contact Donna Stoehr at &lt;br&gt; 212-840-1661 or donna@blisspr.com.&lt;br&gt;&lt;\/pre&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211;(BUSINESS WIRE)&#8211; Panel Discussion on the Impact of Economic Reforms &#8211; Industry Experts Outline the Legal, Trade, Investment, Urban Planning and Architectural Challenges Facing the New China &lt;pre&gt;&lt;br&gt;DATE: Thursday, November 13th, 2003&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;TIME: Registration and continental breakfast 8:00 &#8211; 8:30am.&lt;br&gt; Presentations [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1594","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hedgeco-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1594","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1594"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1594\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1594"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
