Pang Guanglian, deputy secretary-general of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, said China has always been committed to opening-up, improving the business environment and encouraging foreign investment in the country's key sectors.

As the scion of a Hong Kong construction family, Dominic Pang Yat-ting decided to return to the family business at Asia Allied Infrastructure Holdings all because of his keen interest in opportunities available on the Chinese mainland.
I felt it quite attractive for me," Pang recalls making up his mind to return to Hong Kong 15 years ago.
Although he had obtained a juris doctorate from the New York University School of Law and had worked at a law firm for two years on Wall Street, Pang was not too fond of the position, which was his "first job but not the first choice".
Pang believed in the old economy business and returned to Hong Kong to help out his father in 2003.
He tasted success in the family business with his younger brother Derrick Pang last year.
Dominic Pang says they're now looking things in a different light, committed to diversifying the group's income streams by engaging in various new businesses, including the provision of upscale safe deposit box services, running an online building materials procurement platform, and providing construction financing services.
Chairman Dominic Pang tells Edith Lu fresh challenges may lead the group to team up with Chinese mainland firms and explore new opportunities.
But, the construction side will continue to operate as a subsidiary under the well-established brand of Chun Wo," explains Chairman and Executive Director Dominic Pang Yat-ting.
Pang, who took the family business baton from his father Pang Kam-chun in 2010 along with his brother Derrick Pang Yat-bond, admits that the change might make the group lose some of its clients.
In 2014, the Pang brothers sold the group's controlling interest to China New Way Investment and China City Construction Corp, hoping to take on more construction projects in countries and regions involved in the Belt and Road Initiative through its new partners.
AAIH, Pang says, will continue to look out for other Chinese mainland partners to work with.
In fact, they're working with Guangzhou's SFund International Investment Fund Management and Shenzhen-based Top Spring International Holdings, and Pang expects to see more such cooperation in future.
"I feel Nansha is one area that's unique for Hong Kong and mainland collaboration," says Pang.
However, AAIH will not consider starting any construction project in the Bay Area itself, says Pang, explaining he does not foresee any opportunities in this sector for Hong Kong companies as mainland companies would have the natural advantages.
The days of property developers and construction companies being quite profitable are over," says Pang.
“For digital transformation, the most important is the connectivity,” Vincent Pang, president of Huawei West Europe Region, said on Monday at Huawei’s news conference.
Pang said enthusiasm for investment in better infrastructure remains low in Europe, Huawei’s local partners and customers work closely with the company for a common goal, not just to provide the best practice in the region but also for the world.
It’s no longer from Europe to Europe, but from Europe to the globe,” Pang said.

"5G technology will be hundreds times faster 4G," said Pang Shengqing, executive vice president of ZTE, "It is the future of the mobile communication industry.

Chinese businessman Jonathan Pang has joined a growing list of investors offering to buy the insolvent German carrier Air Berlin, German newspaper BILD reported on Wednesday.

The country's economic data in December and the fourth quarter of 2023 showed the economy witnessed more positive, comprehensive and multi-dimensional changes, and a number of indicators on the production and demand sides achieved more dynamic, widespread and all-round improvement, said Pang Ming, chief economist with global consultancy JLL China.
China remains the ballast of global economic growth, Pang added.
"The aging problem and the lengthening years of schooling are the main reasons for the increasing average age of the working population," said Pang Shi, director of the Chinese Academy of Personnel Science's department of employment and entrepreneurship in Beijing.
"It's estimated that the working population will be reduced by 7.9 million a year from 2020 to 2030 and be around 825 million by 2030, roughly 58.6 percent of the total population by that time," Pang said.

Saturday's data indicated that as the country unveiled economic supportive policies and enhanced counter-cyclical adjustments, the effects of measures to boost domestic demand continued to emerge, Pang said.
With the inflation rate remaining low, there is still the necessity and possibility for further interest rate reduction, Pang said.
"We can sell out the liquid carbon dioxide we produce on the same day," said Pang Qiyuan, a technique manager of the company.
Pang Ming, chief economist at global consultancy JLL China, said the stronger policy support will guide more foreign investment toward areas such as medium- and high-end manufacturing and trade in services, as well as geographically toward the central, western and northeastern regions of the country.

Pang Shi, director of the Chinese Academy of Personnel Science's department of employment and entrepreneurship, said the employment of young people is a global issue.
The labor market experiences fluctuations as the economic cycle progresses, Pang said, noting that the imbalance between youth labor supply and market demand, as well as young people's career views, affects the group's employment prospects.
Many graduates delay their job-seeking plans until after they receive their civil service exam results, and in the process miss out on job opportunities, Pang said.
Pang said the fundamental way of tackling youth employment challenges is developing the economy to create more job opportunities and improving the stability of these jobs.
Pang Ming, chief economist with global consultant JLL China, said he expects the re-commencement of senior-level Sino-US talks in multiple areas could open up room for more cooperation on bilateral and global issues.

Iris Pang, chief China economist at Dutch bank ING, said this implies infrastructure investment is progressing and she believes those investments will continue to be the main growth engine this year in giving extra strength to the economy, which in turn will create more jobs for people.
Pang said reports that COVID-19 outbreaks in China have led to the loss of export orders in Southeast Asia is a temporary matter since it is not easy to change the whole production chain.
And China will then focus on more capital and technology-intensive products and services," Pang said.

"The supply chain shocks are relatively light so far, but the primary economic impact is on consumer spending and the services industry," Bruce Pang, head of macro and strategy research at China Renaissance, was quoted as saying.

Iris Pang, chief China economist at Dutch bank ING, said the major challenge for China's long-term growth is (strengthening its) technological competitiveness in the international environment.
Pang Chaoran, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, said the draft is part of the country's ongoing efforts to continuously deepen reforms and expand opening-up.
Pang said a unified negative list for market access in all regions will help China build a high-standard market system that is open and competitive, providing a driving force for high-quality development.
"Citing the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25), Pang said the government should also ramp up efforts to improve the systems and mechanisms for the market allocation of production factors, promote the building of a high-standard market system and form a unified, efficient and well-regulated domestic market featuring fair competition.
Iris Pang, chief economist for China at Dutch investment bank ING, said the major challenge for China's long-term growth will be strengthening its technological competitiveness in the international environment.
Noting that China and its partners are pushing for the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership agreement to take effect next year, Pang said the RCEP will not only benefit China's economic growth, but also that of other participants, since the deal will enhance trade flows among member countries and change the supply chain network.
International trade offers sellers and buyers alike a better price for the same transaction than they would get for trade within their own economy, and domestic circulation provides backbone support for the economy when the external part is weak, Pang added.
Bruce Pang, head of macro and strategy research at China Renaissance Securities, said the festival, which offers preferential policies, including free and direct delivery, helps to overcome the long-lasting logistics obstacles due to border checkpoint closures.

Lu predicted that the PBOC will deliver a 50-basis-point universal RRR cut in coming weeks, while other economists, such as Iris Pang from ING Bank, foresee an RRR cut that is targeted for small and medium-sized enterprises only.
"This could be a surprise for markets at a time when other major central banks are talking about rate hikes and the taper timetable," said Pang, referring to a reduction of asset purchases.
Domestic inflation, although it was largely due to the low base of last year as a result of the pandemic, will find it difficult to avoid external influences, especially if global commodity prices continue to rise due to infrastructure stimulus measures in the United States and economic reopenings elsewhere, according to Iris Pang, chief economist in China with ING, a Netherlands-based bank.
ING荷兰银行驻中国首席经济学家艾瑞斯·彭指出，尽管国内通胀在很大程度上是由于去年受疫情影响导致的基数较低，但如果全球大宗商品价格持续因美国基础设施刺激措施及其它地区的经济重启而上涨，国内通胀将难以避免受到外部因素的影响。

Iris Pang, chief China economist at Dutch bank ING, said the pickup in retail sales, led by jewelry, automobiles and catering, showed that consumption is on a recovery track even though social distancing measures remain in place.

"Pang Chaoran, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, said the shortened negative list is in line with laws and regulations, dynamically reflecting changes in the domestic regulatory system.
"Facing rising protectionism and mounting global uncertainties, the new move has also shown China's firm determination to further open its economy and deepen reforms, laying a solid foundation for fostering high-quality development in the long run, Pang said.
