	Building king's dream to bridge gap
		Gordon Wu is happy to leave the management of his multi-billion dollar company, Hopewell Holdings, to his son when he retires on reaching the age of 70 toward the end of next year.
		Obviously, Wu dislikes "consultants" as much as "bureaucrats" for they are seen to have colluded in stymieing many of the plans proposed by him and others in the business sector to improve and expand Hong Kong infrastructure facilities.
		Wu insists that even if the government policy on container ports is to change in future, neither he nor his company will consider getting into the business to avoid any potential conflict of interest.

		Wu said Hong Kong's principal advantage is that most of the city's people are in close proximity to China's 1.3 billion people.

	MyDD :: Democratic Rep. David Wu Opening Door to Senate Run in Oregon?
		As of recently as late January Wu was reported by Oregon Public Broadcasting to not be interested in running against Smith in 2008, so on its face this hedge appears to be a change of position, however slight, on the part of Wu.
		But Wu is not a dynamic speaker, and let's face facts, being Oriental does not count against him in his district (in fact, I believe the neocon woman who ran against him was Asian)...but it would count against him to a significant degree in a statewide election.
		Wu is just another pro-corporate "new dem." That's served him well in his swing district that is home to Nike and several large corporate campuses (most notably Intel and Tektronix, but many others as well), but we should aim higher for a Senate candidate.

		Wu continues his use of sports metaphors when he speaks of the future of Hong Kong, which returns to Chinese control in July 1997.

		As the son of building magnate Sir Gordon Wu, Wu had it all: from Ivy League education to stocks and shares by the bucketful and a jet-setting lifestyle.

		Says Wu: “One of the key things in my joining the company and that we discussed was that my father felt that communication in the group was not as strong as it should be.

		H.R. 2406 and Congressman Wu's legislation (H.R. 1467) passed by the U.S. House earlier this year, together, will help move the health care industry toward adoption of information technology systems, including the use of electronic patient health records.

		Gordon Wu is the Hong Kong businessman who created Hopewell Holdings and who achieved huge success and wealth in developing the infrastructure of Hong Kong and mainland China.
		Gordon Wu's strongly felt family relationships also are likely to have dissuaded him from giving too much away.
		This provides a slightly curious sensation when reading this book in Bangkok, which is the home of Wu's greatest disaster and where the Thai bureaucracy and political class proved itself to be world-class in its ability to avoid doing anything that did not suit them, no matter how much they may have promised otherwise.
