Cantor's China dream

Further evidence of the fact that Asia and particularly China are firmly on the radar screen, came recently when Cantor Fitzgerald announced a strategic alliance with HankPacific Group, an independent international merchant banking and advisory business focusing mainly on China. The US broker has allied with a firm that is run by the influential Henry Liu - who previouslhy served as a senior financial and capital markets regulator in China, including in the role as Director-General and General Counsel at the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC).
