NORMAN BETTS, minister of Business of New Brunswick, Canada, considered cooperation with China a win-win one.

　　“The establishment of the schools will enable Chinese to share our advantages and experience in the education sector.

　　“In the same way, Canadians will be able to learn not only the Chinese language but also the culture,” Betts told a reception Saturday.

　　According to Mr. Betts, there was an increasing number of people in Canada who were eager to learn Chinese and also more Chinese students were learning English.

　　“We have a very active e-learning industry in New Brunswick and I hope our Chinese counterparts can benefit from our expertise.

　　“New Brunswick is a relatively small province with a population of 700,000 people, while China has a huge market which is growing. That’s why we are here. We see opportunities in the education sector and information industry.”

　　Mr. Betts said his province was looking for more places for further expansion.

　　“We want to focus here because this is one of the most prosperous areas in China. This is my first trip to Shenzhen and I find I like this exciting place very much. I will be back.”
