Meet The People
Together, we continue to build bridges, create opportunities, and shape a prosperous future for our business communities.


Dear Members and Friends,
Today, as the United States and China continue to navigate a challenging bilateral relationship, as an independent, non-partisan, non-governmental chamber of commerce, CGCC’s mission of creating value, generating economic growth, and enhancing cooperation between the U.S. and Chinese business communities is even more critical. As the newest CGCC Chairman, I look forward to dedicating myself to the organization’s mission, connecting the two peoples by providing further opportunities for deeper engagement, and to contributing to building trust, and expanding cooperation.
More specifically, together with the active participation of our member companies, we would continue to serve as a bridge for the U.S.-China business communities. As of 2022, our Chinese member companies have invested over $135 billion in the U.S., directly employing more than 220,000 people. Through our various programs and services, each year we engage thousands of members of the U.S.-China business community. From our Annual Gala to our Leaders Roundtable series, from donating to local communities to hosting events like SelectUSA Reception, we strive to create opportunities for deeper engagement between the two peoples in order to further strengthen the bilateral trade and economic relationship.
Here’s to another year full of candid conversations and joint efforts in building a friendly and open-minded community. I wish you and your families, colleagues, and businesses, a happy, healthy year!
