Not the least of his concerns is the increased importance of mainland China business to his Hong Kong company and the problematic nature of some of these activities. In addition, he has a personal ambition to practice law, after suspending these interests for several years to serve the family''s needs. (A supplement to this case under the same name, case ''9A98F003'', addresses a number of social and emotional complexities.) There is a simplified Chinese version available ''9A98FC02''.
