The Shanghai Links project began in 1992 with the signing by the then Prime Minister of Canada, Honourable Jean Chretien, of a Memorandum of Agreement with the Shanghai Pudong New Area Government controlled company, Huaxia Tourism Development Company. From the time of the Asian Financial Crisis in October of 1998, the project was mired in controversy and litigation, and a concerted campaign by the Pudong New Area Government and Bankers Trust Company, to disparage and discredit the Shanghai Links project and its Founders. This website will set out in considerable detail the facts and the documents which support those facts.
