A GROUP of university students expressed full confidence in China's future and was determined to enter business in China despite the Xi Yang incident and a series of detentions of businessmen by Chinese officials.
At the inauguration ceremony of the Chinese University's China Trade Society, new academic officer Joey Chow Kwok-yin said: ''As a Chinese, I want to contribute to the motherland by doing business there.
''By doing so, we will not only provide employment opportunities for the people there but will also contribute in building up a better economy for the community.'' Joey believed a flourishing Chinese economy could bring about political change in China.
''As China concentrates on its economy which calls for international co-operation, it must also pay attention to problems like human rights and other issues of international concern instead of closing up itself politically.'' ''China is on the right track to market economy and I have full confidence that by 1997, the picture would be more promising,'' Joey said.
The China Trade Society, entering its 10th year, aims at promoting China trade and narrowing the gap between the academic and business sectors of Hong Kong society.
The society will organise a series of activities including exchange programmes, company visits, seminars and exhibitions, this year on the theme ''Economic and Business Relationship of China, Taiwan and Hong Kong''.
