Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti and a 34-member business delegation returned from China in December 2012 with new investment opportunities and new alliances in hand.  The largest China trade and investment mission to date was organized by the Confederation of Greater Toronto Chinese Business Association (CGTBA).

The 16-day mission, led by Mayor Scarpitti, further strengthened and promoted economic, business and cultural ties between Markham and key cities in China, a country with one of the fastest growing economies in the world.  The Markham delegation included Regional Councillors Gord Landon and Joe Li, Councillors Alex Chiu and Alan Ho, and Markham businesses and institutions representing the high-tech, real estate, medical/health care and financial services sectors.  Markham delegates travelled to nine cities in China – Qingdao, Zibo, Shanghai, Beijing, Wuhan, Huadu, Foshan, Zhongshan and Shenzhen; each of which represent important strategic alliances.
