Despite the increased focus on discreet markets and bottom-up execution in China, the Party and the Government still has the final say over how foreign companies operate in the China. This makes understanding future Chinese leaders and their policy priorities critical to the development of a successful China strategy. Understanding and engaging the PRC’s rising stars is essential as these "Fifth Generation" leaders will determine what your business can and cannot do in China. A challenging prospect in the best of times, developing a clear understanding of China’s future policy priorities is particularly difficult now given the on-going transition from the Hu Jintao-led Fourth Generation. 

On Tuesday, January 25, 2011, AmCham Shanghai is pleased to welcome Mr. W. John Hoffmann, co-founder & principal of Exceptional Resources Group - XRG and co-founder & founding core associate of China Dialogues Network – CDN, who will help us understand China’s Fifth Generation leaders and what they mean for your China business.

Mr. Hoffmann’s presentation will focus on four main topics:

1. China Multilateral Relationships
2. Characteristics of the Fifth Generation 
3. Factional Politics and Policy Differences
4. Upcoming Leadership Change in 2012-13

About the Speaker:

W. John Hoffmann is a Co-Founder and Principal of the Exceptional Resources Group (XRG), a China-based strategy and transactional consulting firm, and a Co-Founder and Founding Core Associate of the China Dialogues Network (CDN), a network of leading China analysts, consultants, scholars and businesspeople that provides information and bespoke advice on China.

Jonathan Kopp - Global Director of Digital Media, Ketchum Public Relations and former Social Media Strategist for President Barack Obama's 2008 election campaign

Hosted by Communications & Marketing Committee

In November, Americans will return to the polls in what many pundits are predicting will be one of the most hotly contested mid-term elections since former President Clinton. What's at stake? Democrats control both chambers of Congress, but Republicans hope to cut into their margins or regain control of the House and Senate. Millions of voters will cast ballots for 435 House seats and 37 of 100 Senate seats, while 37 states will elect governors. Voters also will decide on various ballot initiatives. Turning voters out to the polls is a major focus of both parties and social media is again playing an important role.

Mr. Jonathan Kopp, Global Director of Digital Media at Ketchum Public Relations and the former Social Media Strategist for President Barack Obama's 2008 election campaign, will share his insights on:

· how social media tools and digital communications are influencing the political process;
· social media’s role in building coalitions and advocates for political brands;
· how the lessons of social media's success in the theatre of politics can help companies hone their own social media strategies, and build advocates and coalitions of support for their brands.

Mr. Jonathan Kopp is the lead digital communications strategist for Ketchum worldwide. He launched and runs the Ketchum Global Digital Network and oversees all aspects of digital and social media strategy, counsel and program development; interactive design and development; graphical design and content; and rich media products and services. Before Ketchum, Jonathan was a partner at SS+K, an integrated communications agency providing strategic counsel and integrated campaigns involving public relations, public affairs, issue advocacy, crisis management, marketing and advertising across all traditional and digital media. In 2007-2008, while a partner at SS+K, Jonathan was a member of the Obama for America National Media Team, focused on online and offline communications to engage younger voters. His other clients have included the Lance Armstrong Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the ONE Campaign, DATA, Pfizer, CVS/pharmacy, Goldman Sachs, the Pew Charitable Trusts, Anheuser-Busch, Polo Ralph Lauren, Time Warner Cable, the Environmental Defense Fund, Comcast, Warner Home Video, Liz Claiborne, the Rockefeller Foundation, Human Rights First, and the National Cable & Telecom Association.

Time: 8:00 - 9:30am
Fee(s): Member Fee: HK$150; Non Member Fee: HK$250 
Venue: AmCham Office, 1904 Bank of America Tower, 12 Harcourt Road, Central, Hong Kong

Shanghai Children’s Palace Art Troupe includes 45 multi-talented youngsters, ages 10 to 17, who perform a dazzling array of Chinese choral works, dances (folk, modern and ballet), Chinese instruments and Beijing Opera. The Shanghai Children’s Palace provides a place for China’s most gifted youngsters to pursue their interests and further develop their skills in the arts, science, literature, dance and gymnastics. 

The performance is being presented by Hawaii National Bank and U.S. China People’s Friendship Association. A portion of net proceeds will be donated to Child and Family Service to support their child abuse prevention and domestic violence programs.

According to Shanghai Children’s Palace Art Troupe General Chairman Walter T.C. Chang, Shanghai Children’s Palace Art Troupe last performed in Hawaii nearly 10 years ago, and this year’s performance will be a multi-cultural event that will also include Olana Ai Hula Halau. 

“The troupe’s visit is part of a cultural exchange program headed by Honorary Chairs Governor Linda Lingle and Walter Chee Kwon Chun,” Chang said. “In addition to the performance, the troupe will visit Hawaii’s visitor attractions such as Pearl Harbor and the Polynesian Cultural Center, and entertain at the Children’s Discovery Center as well.”

The troupe’s 65-member delegation is led by the Honorable Mr. Lu Ping, Chairman of the Shanghai Soong Ching Ling Foundation. Shanghai Children’s Palace Art Troupe was formed in 1955 by the China Welfare Institute under the direction of Madame Soong Ching Ling, wife of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. 

The troupe has performed throughout the world, establishing cultural exchanges with children of other countries and furthering international goodwill, friendship and understanding.

Tickets are $35, $25 and $20 plus service charge. $5 discount for Senior 65+, active military, and children under 12. Tickets are available at the Blaisdell Box Office, or charge-by-phone through Ticketmaster at 1-800-745-3000 or via the Internet at www.ticketmaster.com.
