09 May - GSD Questions Hong Kong Office Appointment by Government

They go on to ask, ‘were there any other applicants? What remuneration and any other perks is the appointee receiving? Why is he described as a representative and a director? What is he expected to be a director of? What staff, if any, is he going to have? What experience and/or qualifications does the successful appointee have which will enable him to access the Chinese market?’
