China General Chamber of Commerce – U.S.A and Appeal of Conscience Foundation have established close ties and cooperation since 2015. In 2015, along with Shanghai Media Group (SMG), the two organizations jointly premiered the documentary film “Survival in Shanghai” in New York, which received great public appreciation. This year, CGCC served as co-chair for Appeal of Conscience Foundation’s annual awards dinner. More than 20 CGCC members attended the awards dinner held at Waldorf Astoria New York on September 19.

French President Francois Hollande was presented the 2016 “World Statesman Award” for his leadership in safeguarding democracy and freedom in a time of terrorist violence and for his contribution to global stability and security. Andrew N. Liveris, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Dow Chemical Company, and Carlos Slim Helù, President of The Carlos Slim Foundation, were honorees of the “the Appeal of Conscience Award”.

CGCC values the partnership with Appeal of Conscience Foundation and look forward to working together in the coming year.
