A Few Words from the Editor
I
N THIS ISSUE
we visit the world of
traditional Chinese medicine, where a
Hutchison company is breaking new
ground in researching which remedies might
hold the secret to the next Western wonder
drug. It’s a fascinating story, as, until recently,
there was little scientific data about these
centuries-old treatments.
There’s also a first look at
3
’s ground-
breaking new mobile phone that is being
launched in partnership with Skype.
Elsewhere, we focus on how millions of
newly-affluent young women are transform-
ing the beauty business in China and also talk
to leading Hong Kong hotel chefs about the
secrets of their success. There’s also time to
visit Malaysia, a land of diversity and
harmony, and share the inspirational
message that Victor Li passed on to a
group of Hong Kong youths.
We hope you enjoy the magazine.
