BEIJING, Oct. 17 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PacificNet Inc.
(Pink Sheets: PACT), a leading provider of e-commerce and gaming
technology in China, announced its participation in the China
Guangxi Investment Mission 2008 led by US Consul General Robert
Goldberg and Harley Seyedin, President of the American Chamber of
Commerce in South China, from October 13-17 in Guangxi, China to
seek market opportunities between the US and China. The mission was
jointly held by the Consul General of the United States Guangzhou
Province, the American Chamber of Commerce in South China (AmCham)
and the Guangxi Investment Promotion Bureau. During the Trade
Mission, PacificNet Directors met with local governors and leaders
including Mr. Zheng Kangjun, Mayor of Liuzhou, and Mr. Zhang Fuhai,
Vice Mayor, to discuss business opportunities in the large and
prosperous Guangxi Province, with a focus on the development of the
Guangxi Beibu Gulf Special Economic Zone. US Consul General Robert
Goldberg commented, "In the course of my career I have been very
involved in China's accession to the world and looking at China's
economic development. I am looking forward to working with you to
improve US-China relations and to further mutual understanding
between the two countries. The trade relationship between South
China and the United States is extremely important, as Guangdong
alone accounts for about one-third of China's total exports. We
hope to help American companies achieve the same kind of success in
Guangxi as they have thrived in Guangdong province." As the Consul
General of the American Consulate in Guangzhou, Mr. Goldberg
pledged to improve the overall relationship, especially economic
ties, between South China and the United States. Coming to China
for the first time in 1978, Mr. Goldberg has personally observed
the dramatic transformation of Shenzhen from a fishing village to a
part of the Pearl River Delta megalopolis and one of the wealthiest
cities in China over the past two decades. Victor Tong, CEO of
PacificNet, said, "We are delighted to be part of US Consul General
Goldberg's Guangxi China trade delegation and to serve as an
example of how an American technology company can succeed in China.
We have always felt the pulse of Asian market and our new gaming
technology products reflect this as they are well suited for the
China-ASEAN market because of the culture similarities. As such, we
hope to expand quickly in these markets as the demand is there.
Despite the global financial crisis, I believe PacificNet is well
positioned for growth due to the vast number of potential customers
in China that are seeking various technologies and products to
streamline their operations and improve efficiencies." About PACT
