[asia-apec 1687] 2001 WEF Asia Pacific Economic Summit in HK

[Kevin Yuk-shing Li]

Dear folks,

As you all know, this year's S11 action in Melbourne (http://www.s11.org) has
caught the world's attention on WEF activities.  In fact, WEF
(http://www.weforum.org) has long tradition in in promoting the "benefits" of
globalization.  Their meetings gather the global corporations, and try to
shape and influence the government policies so as to tailor-make their
globalization strategies.  In 2001, WEF will hold their annual Asia Pacific
Economic Summit in Hong Kong between October 29-31.  During this meeting, the
representatives of governments from Asia Pacific region and the TNCs will meet
with each other to discuss the economic and trade policies.  We Globalization
Monitor are planning some activities to respond to WEF's propaganda.  If your
group is also interested in WEF issues, please feel free to contact us.

(Globalization Monitor is a Hong Kong-based Chinese periodical focussing on
the impacts of globalization on the whole society, especially Chinese
societies.  The members of editorial board mainly come from trade unions,
student unions, environmental groups and women workers's groups.)
