The China-Hong Kong Business Studies Network was launched in July 1998 at Sauder School of Business. As the first component of the Centre for Asia Pacific Business in Sauder School of Business, the Network aims to foster better China, Hong Kong and Canada business connections through an array of management education, academic research and expertise exchange programs. The Network builds on the foundation of Sauder School of Business's award-winning China Programs, which were established in 1980.

Sauder School of Business has a long and proud record of achievement in international business activities, and China has been a focal point for over twenty years. China Programs began in the Faculty in 1980 with the visit of Mr. Rong Yiren, later Vice-President of China. Since that time, the Faculty has developed strong academic links with leading universities such as Shanghai Jiao Tong University for teaching and research, and strong partnership links with key business and government enterprises throughout China for human resource development. Over 300 senior Chinese enterprise and government officials have come to UBC for short-term executive training programs, offered in Chinese language. These programs combine business lectures by leading faculty members with site visits to Canadian companies. Many personal and business linkages have been formed through these programs.

The China-Hong Kong Business Studies Network will continue to link academic, business and government organizations in Canada, Hong Kong and Mainland China in order to extend partnerships and build new ones.
