US/China Leaders on ABI

Since 1985, the ABI guide has received a tremendous amount of accolades from business people around the world. The below are certain extracts from some US VIPs and Chinese business leaders:

"When I traveled to China in 1972, many naive commentators viewed the initiative in purely strategic terms. In fact, the driving idea behind the initiative was that it was counterproductive, to the causes of both peace and prosperity, for the United States to be cut off from a billion of the ablest people in the world.

That was the reason for my trip to China, and fourteen years later it remains at the heart of Sino-U.S. relations. The people of China and the United States have much to offer one another. The substantial trade between our two nations today is only a small fraction of what it will be in years to come.

I am happy to have this opportunity to salute both these farsighted businessmen and their Chinese partners and partners-to-be." ----Richard Nixon
