為何要舉辦「首屆休斯敦國際工商博覧會」

今天在美國的華亞裔人口，正以驚人之速度不斷增長中，就以大休斯敦地區而言，我們已經佔到百分之七點五。換言之，以七百萬人口算來，至少有超過六十萬是來自亞洲之移民。

從人口統計數字顯示，華亞裔家庭不但是高收入，而且多半是高級知識份子及各行業之精英，這歸功於我們家庭教育之成功。

美國社會對我們之刻板印象是對政治比較冷漠，對社會慈善活動之參與嫌不足，其中上一代移民因受戰爭之苦加上當年所在國不相信貪腐之政府，因而造成希望下一代獨善其身，努力向學，變成醫生律師及工程師來改善生活困境。

然而政治及經濟之環境不斷銳變中，我們所處之社會正遭受歧視不公之挑戰，我們為了自已和下一代之生存，必須共同面對未來之變局。

今天我們正在積極籌備之休斯敦國際工商博覧會，在州長市長民意代表及商務部之支持下，我們一定要辦好此次博覽會，來彰顯華亞裔對社會之責任和貢獻，更顯示我們的經濟實力。

大會之成功，尚望大家之鼎力支持，我們一定盡力來繼續加油，為華亞裔爭光。

Why Is The Houston International Expo Very Important?

The 2024 Houston International Expo will be held in Houston on October 30th - November 1.

This expo will showcase the strong and growing presence of the Asian community in the greater Houston area and across the nation. Through the expo we can highlight the contributions and influence of the Asian community on the local society and economy and help more people become aware of this community.

We can also strengthen the position of members of the Asian community in the business and commercial sectors. The expo can facilitate business exchanges and collaboration while showcasing

the Asian entrepreneurs and professionals and provide them

with more business opportunities and networking prospects.

During this event we can also enhance and encourage cultural exchanges and understanding between different ethnic groups

and Asian professionals.

We hope you will give us the support to help make it a very successful Expo.
