The group also visited a top messenger service providing company ‘Tencent’ in Shenzhen. Dean XIANG Bing of CKGSB said at the ceremony that “While Shanghai is a city that has grown under China’s development; Shenzhen is a city where innovation and entrepreneurship have attracted young people with talent. If Shenzhen’s noticeable success model spreads, the Chinese economy will continue to grow as well.”
