Your support and generosity are greatly appreciated. With gratitude, Savio S. Chan Event Chairman Dear Friends: It would have been 10 years in July since the Asian American Business Development Center was established with a grant from the U.S. Small Business Administration. In these 10 years, AABDC has tried to live up to its mission of “assist Asian American businesses to increase their capacities to compete in the mainstream marketplace and to promote greater recognition of Asian American businesses’ contributions to the general economy.” From the honorees of the third Outstanding 50 Asian Americans in Business award, I am proud to report to you that Asian American entrepreneurs and corporate executives are becoming an important part of the American mainstream. JOHN WANG President Along the way, AABDC has strengthened its relationship with public and private Asian American Business sector partners to enable Asian American businesses better access to information, Development Center resources and business opportunities. It has broadened the alliance with the New Majority community beyond domestic concerns and onto a new level of international cooperation and business development. And as a key part of AABDC's business development strategy, the expansion of international business opportunities for Asian American business owners has become a major focus. On the eve of celebrating the impressive accomplishments of these individuals, I thank you for your steadfast support of AABDC and welcome your continued participation in growing the Asian American business community. Sincerely yours, John Wang President. City Coucilmen John Liu and Alan Gerson pres- ents Lunar New Year Proclamation to John Wang and Cindy Hsu The Asian American Business Development Center, Inc. (“AABDC”) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was established in 1994. AABDC’s mission is to advance the capacity of Asian-owned businesses in areas needed to enable such busi- nesses to compete in the mainstream marketplace. AABDC acts upon its mission by: Providing information and technical assistance through consulting services, workshops, seminars, and conferences; Improving access to procurement opportunities; Creating international trade opportunities; Increasing access to current technology and technology training; Providing a valuable networking structure that promotes visibility and access; and Facilitating and promoting strategic ventures between Asian and non-Asian busi- nesses. Children performing at the Lunar New Year Festival In 2003, AABDC continued its effort to assist small businesses in Chinatown in obtaining grants and loans from the New York Business Recovery and Economic Revitalization Program. Working with the Empire State Development Corporation, AABDC has helped 731 businesses that have been adversely affected by the attack on the World Trade Center. In all, over $3.1 million in grants money have been awarded to 347 businesses. The combination of loans and grants help many small businesses to maintain sufficient cash flow and the introduction of tourism development program by AABDC bring much needed business activity to Chinatown. In addition, technical assistance through workshops and one-on-one counseling assist and train local businesses in mar- keting, promotion and business development to prepare them for tourism business. John Wang presents the first edition of the New York Chinatown Travel Guide In January 2003, the Asian American Business Development Center released the first ever Chinatown Travel Guide, a 120-page four-color pocket size directory of New York Chinatown. The directory featured articles about Chinatown, a map with major sightseeing attraction, over 1,000 business listings, arts and cultural organizations and interesting tidbits about the history and cultural of Chinatown. With an initial printing of 20,000 copies, it became one of the most highly sought after items and received raved reviewed from various quarters. Because of the heavy demand for the travel guide, AABDC launched the second edition of the New York Chinatown Travel Guide in July as part of a continuing effort to promote tourism. The travel guide was distributed via city’s tourist centers in mid- town, lower Manhattan and Grand Center Station and at the selected hotels through- out the city. As compliment to the travel guide, an interactive online Chinatown Information Center website, www. Chinatownsearch.com, was launched to provides an electronic version of the travel guide and regularly updated listings of community events. The second edition of New York Chinatown Travel Guide and the launch of www.chinatown- search.com website During SARS crisis, Senator Clinton at AABDC’s invitation came to Chinatown to offer sup- port AABDC SARS Survey- How Chinatown has been affected by the SARS outbreak. In April, 2003, a survey conducted by AABDC, has shown that 84% of businesses have been affected by the nation’s fear of SARS. Chinatown’s restaurants and gift shops, the major sources of economic activity, continue to suffer as fewer tourists and lesser consumer spending exacerbate losses these small businesses incurred fol- lowing the attacks. Jewelry stores that used to compete with the Diamond District on 47th STREET have not been able to attract enough customers to sustain sales even after cutting their prices. Senator Hillary Clinton visits Chinatown In light on the reports of a significant slump in business and tourism in the wake of the September 11th Attacks and scares about SARS, Senator Hillary Clinton joined AABDC and Chinatown leaders at a press conference to call on local, state, federal governments, to reverse the community’s serious economic downturn by providing adequate funding to help the community’s economic recovery. In the words of Senate\or Clinton, “ That is why I am calling on the Small Business Administration (SBA), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LDC) to provide the resources necessary to support the area which con- tinues to suffer from a serious economic downturn. I would encourage the government, business, locals and tourists alike to show their support for the community that has suffered so much already.” John Wang and the delegation present award to Director Chan of Overseas Chinese Affair Office in Beijing Outstanding 50 Delegation In September, at the invitation of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council, AABDC organized Outstanding 50 Delegation visited China. This visit has created more opportunities for delegation members and entrepreneurs in China as well as paved the way for greater trade and business development between China and the United States. The New Majority Trade Mission At the invitation of the Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs, AABDC organized The New Majority Trade Mission to China in November. The mission was conceived in a discussion with Ambassador Qiu Sheng Yun to broaden the level of understanding to leaders of the New Majority communities

  • A Comparison of Korean and Chinese American Banks in California*
    한국지역지리학회지 제12 권 제 1 호 (2006) 154-171 The Financial Development of Korean Americans: A Comparison of Korean and Chinese American Banks in California* Hyeon-Hyo Ahn**, Yun-Sun Chung*** 미국에서의 한인 금융: 캘리포니아에서 한국계와 중국계 은행의 비교* 안현효**․ 정연선 *** 요약：본 논문은 캘리포니아의 중국계와 한국계의 양 소수민족은행을 비교하여 한국계 민족은행과 한국계 이민사회의 경제적 관계를 해명하고자 한다. 통상 미국 내 소수민족경제권의 경제적 성과 차이는 문화적 차이 또는 비공식금융의 기여로 설명되는 경우가 많으나 우리는 공식금융제도의 적극적 역할에 주목하여 금융제도와 소수민족경제의 관련성을 강조한다.,, 동시에 한국계 미국은행은 성장 수익성 은행전략 면에서 중국계 소수민족은행과 구분된다는 점을 중시하여, 은행전략 측면에서, 중국계와 한국계가 고객과의 장기적 거래를 중시하는 유사한 관계은행전략을 구사하지만, 은행의 대출분포와 예금분포는 서로 다르다는 점을 지적하였다. 이는 각 소수민족은행이 다른 경영성과를 낳는 이유가 된다. 한국계은행의 경우 대출구조가 사업대출 중심이며, 이자 낳지 않는 예금의 비중이 중국계 민족은행보다 상대적으로 높 은 사실이 한국계 소수민족은행이 높은 성장을 하게 된 배경이다. 따라서 관계은행전략이라는 개념만으로는 다수의 소 수민족은행의 차이를 설명할 수 없으므로, 본 연구는 한국계와 중국계의 이민사회 그 자체의 특수성에 주목하였다. 중 국계 미국인의 경우 인구구성의 이질성과 해외자본의 영향이, 한국계 미국인의 경우 동질적 인구 및 사업구성과 착 한 국계 미국인 금융기관의 경쟁력이 특징적이다. 주요어：소수민족은행, 한국계 미국은행 , 중국계 미국은행 , 관계은행 Abstract ：By comparing to Chinese American banks, this research shows the uniqueness of Korean American banks. This article argues that instead of the cultural attributes and/or informal financial institutions, formal financial institutions, such as the ethnic banks studied here, are responsible for the business success of Asians abroad. However, ethnic banks have different development trajectories depending on their respective ethnic communities. Korean American banks are notably different from Chinese American banks in terms of growth, profitability, and banking strategies.
