Overview
After delivering several decades’ breakneck growth, China's labor-intensive and export-oriented growth engine is sputtering. China is on a 21st century Long March towards an innovation-driven economy.
China’s outbound foreign direct investment (FDI) approached $90B last year. In two years, Chinese FDI is expected to surpass inbound FDI for the first time in China’s history. More and more Chinese companies are breaking into global markets, as evidenced by Wanxiang’s acquisition of US battery maker A123 Systems, Shuanghui’s buyout of Smithfield Foods, and Lenovo’s takeover of Motorola Mobility.
How would US react to China’s economic transformation? What is the current status of China’s innovation sectors? How would Chinese enterprises cope with the dramatically different business culture in the highly competitive North American market? What career and business opportunities are there for New England professionals and entrepreneurs?
Come not just to find the answers – mingle with our distinguished speakers, dialog with a visiting delegation of business executives from China! Let us work out new ideas and solutions together!

六百多名僑胞十月四日晚在波士頓華埠帝苑大酒樓致詞，高歌，熱舞，歡宴，慶祝第103個雙十。
大會先由波士頓榮光會八人組成的旗隊，高舉中美旗幟進場，營造氣勢，再由蔡倩婷領唱美國國歌，波士頓僑務委員陳家驊，波士頓國民黨常委王竸芳，波士頓榮光會前任理事長殷尚堅領唱中華民國國歌。
陳毓禮還表示，華人在海外要團結，應積極參與美國社會裏的選舉，因為在美國，有選票才有力量，華人要在美國發揮影響力，要受政客重視，就必須像其他族裔一樣，積極登記成為選民，並出席投票。
賴銘琪指出，臺灣海峽兩岸近年和平相處，台灣在國際間獲得尊重，也得到方便待遇，如今已有一百四十多個國家給予免簽證待遇。英國的一份旅遊雜誌今年六月也指出，持台灣簽證旅遊人次，排名第廿二。在2008年時有370萬人到台灣遊玩，2013年時這一人數已增加到八百多萬，相信今年會突破九百萬。賴銘琪還例舉了許多數據，談台灣的經濟成就，更指出台灣境內治安現已達到過去十九年來最好地步，今年七月還被評為全世界最安全國家。
慶祝雙十餐會的重頭戲，在致詞之外就是輪番獻唱。波士頓國民黨大陣仗的廿多人上台，率先以“藍天白雲”為表演拉開序幕，接著有中華廣教學校青少年揚琴音樂團演奏“梅花”，“鄉間小路”歌曲等，整晚有不下四，五十人演唱。
