BBB China
China has today surpassed Japan as the world's second largest economy after the United States. Many analysts project China to overtake the U.S. as the world's largest economy around 2020. Despite the income disparity of the Chinese people, China is a country that most people with international ambitions would like to explore.
With the increasing international and Swedish focus on China, BBBChina has been formed with the purpose of supporting BBBs to expand career and business opportunities there and in Hongkong. Of course, our Best Male Support, Bo Ekander, is an expert and an enthusiastic supporter of this effort.
A few words about the group working with BBBChina
BBBChina has been started up by Barbro Ehnbom in cooporation with Lily Feng, Bo Ekander and BBB:s; Catharina Eklund, who has been Swedish consul in Shanghai for the past three years (and is now in Brussels), Linnéa Graaf at PWC, and Victoria Wang.
