"the source said.
And Charles Ho PCCW assets, the latest buyer, who is also the Standing Committee of the CPPCC National Committee and Shandong Provincial People's Government Consultant, but also set up in February this year, the Hong Kong Bauhinia Foundation guardian, who is responsible for monitoring the performance of the Trust, Chile is considered by the Fund, the Government The think-tank.
