The State of Hawaii Office in Beijing
Bo Wu, Executive Director
DBEDT’s Beijing office, headed by Executive Director Bo Wu, is positioned to take advantage of the many opportunities presented by one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. China has recognized the state’s expertise in tourism and other areas and is actively encouraging Hawaii firms to partner on a number of projects throughout the country, especially those related to the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008, the World’s Fair in Shanghai in 2010 and economic and tourism development initiation in western China. Moreover, China possesses subtropical areas in the southern part of the nation, such as Hainan Island, that share many of the same resources as Hawaii and are excellent candidates for luxury hotel and resort development. In recent years, the Chinese government has focused its attention on the relatively underdeveloped western region, creating further opportunities.

The State of Hawaii Office in Taipei
Alex Lei, Executive Director
The DBEDT office in Taipei, headed by Executive Director Alex Lei, was opened to take advantage of a strong increase in investor interest in Hawaii, symbolized by the purchase of several well-known resort hotels in the 1990’s. Principal activities have included business match making, hosting trade missions; arranging participation in trade shows and seminars for Hawaii businesses; and organizing visits of Taiwan investors to the state.
