An
Atlanta businessman has added some spice to
Georgia-China
relations by opening a
Jamaican restaurant July 8 in one of
China’s southeastern coastal provinces. Glendon Thompson, managing director of Arcom Group Inc., which uses technology to help other companies to increase energy efficiency and environmental responsibility, owns the newly established Cho-Cho Jamaican Restaurant in Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province. After his first trip to China in July 2006, Mr. Thompson started a company there called Hangzhou Arcom Investment and Consulting Company, which “stands ready to provide a bridge and office presence to the small- and mid-sized companies in the Atlanta metro area,” he told GlobalAtlanta in an email interview from Hangzhou. The Hangzhou arm of Arcom aims to reduce air and water pollution in China and provides a cultural bridge for American businesses that want to go into China “toe-first,” Mr. Thompson said.His ideas for both the business and the restaurant stemmed from his love for the Chinese people and his desire to integrate two cultures that make up parts of his personal heritage. Mr. Thompson is one-fourth Chinese. His Chinese grandfather migrated from China to British Hong Kong and then on to British Jamaica. Mr. Thompson wanted to raise the international profile of his island homeland, which he says is far from famous in China. “I wanted to introduce Jamaica to China. Most of the mainland Chinese I spoke to only new Jamaica as where people who run fast originated,” Mr. Thompson said. “Chinese like to eat and socialize, so I chose food as the first vehicle to introduce Jamaica, and the music is introduced while they eat.”
