• Pop Life FanXperience in the Philippines, June 10-12, 2016

• Pop Life FanXperience in China, Sept. 14-17, 2016

• Pop Life FanXperience in Thailand, Dec. 9-11, 2016

The collaboration between Pop Life Entertainment and Salt Lake Comic Con FanXperience and their resulting plans to reach parts of Asia could not come at a better time.

Mission Hills Golf Chief Ken Chu claims that comics along with cosplay and video games would help support youth exchange between mainland China and Hong Kong.

"Young people from the mainland and Hong Kong have a lot of common interests like comics and electronic games. Organising joint events or [sports] competitions will provide more channels to enhance communication," explained Chu.

With Comic Con FanXperience and Pop Life heading to China, the potential to build ties between the mainland and Hong Kong youth is possible.
