RE:NRThis is huge, IMHO.
A Cdn friend who has worked in HK, Beijing and Taiwan for years interprets the NR as a solid vote of political confidence as well as a business opportunity. Note that EIL president Guy Nelson was at the conference with the PM as few years ago (2016). TGH was part of EIL then.
Note that Canada has a Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement with the PRC.
The Governor of the Commission of Economy and Information is one of the 26 Cabinet positions in the PRC.
Big stuff for a small company!
