"The opportunity presented by China's continued economic growth can be both attractive and overwhelming to businesses entering the region. Many firms want an experienced partner to help them develop and deploy a plan for success in China.

For these companies, that partner is China Telecom Americas," said Donald Tan, president of China Telecom Americas. "We have seen a growing demand for diverse, reliable communication from companies, especially in the Chicago region.

We realized that we needed to have a fully-functional office in the area to better service our growing list of important customers, especially those in the financial, manufacturing and pharmaceutical sectors."

"Ever since we launched China Telecom in the Americas, we have known that Chicago was a logical location to open an office. We have been building relationships there for years in anticipation of this day," Tan continued. "We are excited by the region's abundance of enterprises with economic ties in the growing Asian markets."
