Pao (Pao Yue-kong), 1918-1991, rose from modest origins to become, by the mid-1970s, the world's largest private ship-owner. His Hong Kong-based company World-Wide Shipping diversified into property, hotels, retail, media, telecommunications, airlines and banking -- a hugely influential business empire at a time of rapid regional growth. A philanthropist with extensive international connections, Pao became an unofficial Chinese ambassador at large, forging a strong relationship with the architect of China's reform, Deng Xiaoping, at the dawn of China's economic transformation and during the discussions about Hong Kong's future. Anna Pao Sohmen was at her father's side during important events and key meetings with leaders around the world. In this affectionate yet unsentimental account, she recounts the pivotal role played by her father at a key historical juncture and the balance he struck between Chinese and British allegiance, between business and politics, and between capitalism and socialism. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Bao, Yugang,|d1918-1991.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n87910668 600 17 Bao, Yugang,|d1918-1991.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/220331 650 0 Philanthropists|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85100740|zChina|zHong Kong|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n92004431-781|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 0 Shipowners|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh94005825|zChina|zHong Kong|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n92004431-781|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 0 Industrialists|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85065955|zChina|zHong Kong|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n92004431-781|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 7 Philanthropists.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1060593 650 7 Shipowners.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1116349 650 7 Industrialists.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/971815 651 7 China|zHong Kong.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1260796 655 0 Electronic books|xElectronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 776 08 |iPrint version:|z9888083317|z9789888083312 830 0 UPCC book collections on Project MUSE. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=780574|zOnline eBook.
