China on the rise: what does this mean to you? Around the world, China plays an increasingly decisive role in everything from commodities prices to climate change. Visionary business leaders must be able to identify and understand such sweeping changes in order to seize opportunities in China and beyond. Join Cheung Kong to learn how.

China Residency Program
Cheung Kong offers a unique opportunity for students at select business schools to enroll in a week-long program to broaden and deepen their understanding of business in China.

Key sources of learning:

• Cheung Kong professors deliver unique insights on global business in China that others would be hard-pressed to match. Their perspective combines world-class research and teaching experience at top universities in North America and Europe with enduring roots in China and continuous engagement with global business trends.
• Cheung Kong's links to industry take you onsite to learn from senior executives at leading domestic and international enterprises. Candid conversations with high-level executives provide new insights into business practices in China.
• Cheung Kong's students offer thoughtful reflections on social and economic trends that will shape the decades ahead in China. In the classroom or around the dinner table, communication among peers is enlightening for all sides.

Day to Day
The design of the program can be shaped to fit the specific interests of the coordinators. A program schedule with a variety of activities each day ensures a good balance of time spent in and out of the classroom, and leads to an optimal learning experience.
A typical day looks like:

About Beijing
The capital of China for most of the past 600 hundred years, Beijing is the political, cultural, and educational center of the nation. Beijing has long absorbed immigrants from every province of China, and now increasingly attracts newcomers from throughout Asia and the wider world. The city underwent a major construction boom and undertook many beautification projects leading up to the 2008 Olympics, and since then the pace of change has remained extraordinarily rapid. Ancient sights such as the Forbidden City, Great Wall, and narrow hutong lanes now vie for attention with avant-garde international architecture. But despite the accelerating changes, there is no question that Beijing continues to represent the very heart of China.

The Cheung Kong Beijing campus is located in Oriental Plaza, Beijing's premier office complex, which houses the Grand Hyatt and is located at the heart of Wangfujing, China's most famous shopping area. The Beijing campus is just a short walk from Tiananmen Square.

About Shanghai
Lying near the mouth of China's longest river the Yangtze, Shanghai stands at the forefront of the revolutionary changes taking place in the Chinese economy. Registering double-digit growth every year since the introduction of reforms almost two decades ago, Shanghai's ever-rising skyscrapers have come to represent the seemingly limitless possibilities of China's future. Shanghai is the seat of mainland China's largest stock exchange and busiest port, as well as the headquarters of a growing number of corporations. That's in keeping with a historic Shanghai tradition: HSBC and AIG were both founded here. For more than a century Shanghai has thrived as the meeting point between East and West. The city's architecture, cuisine, parks, and cultural life are a tribute to the dynamism and energy of its residents, new and old.
The Cheung Kong Shanghai campus is located in the western suburbs of Shanghai, near the Hongqiao Airport. Set in a leafy neighborhood surrounded by country villas, the Shanghai campus forms an escape from the noise and congestion of downtown Shanghai, which is only 30 minutes away by car.
