identify ways to introduce a cross-cultural exchange between
students from China and Benedictine.Anne Ying Pu visited China for
two weeks in April to discuss program viabilities, while ITM

It is anticipated that this initial Benedictine Chinese
cross-cultural exchange will grow into a full year of programs that
will provide many opportunities, such as a two-way student exchange,
for Benedictine students to become exposed to and appreciate the
local Chinese culture within Ohio and abroad. The program will also
provide opportunities for Chinese students to experience US culture
through Benedictine and its 90 year history.
The second Chinese cross-cultural exchange global business
development that brought guests at the party together is the ITM
Ltd. / Houlihan Capital / Premier Development Partners / Assurance
Health Systems EB-5 Immigrant Investment Visa Program. Understanding
the value of the long-standing relationships that globally
recognized China Specialist Jack Craciun III has developed with ITM
Ltd Founding Chinese Associates since 1985, including Chinese
leaders and investors in China and abroad, Andrew Smith Co-Founder
and President of Houlihan Capital (www.houlihancapital.com)
requested the opportunity to work with ITM and its China Associates,
including Bi Io “Pat” Weng, (ITM Group Founder,/COA, Hong Kong,
Macau, SAR, & China) to explore USA and Chinese cross cultural
exchanges in the fields of Real Estate Property & Intellectual

contribute to the future of medicine by providing specialized
medical service environments that promote the development of new

publication which has provided over 70 years of highly respected
