The new CGCC Chairman and leadership was elected in the afternoon session. After much deliberation and consideration, Mr. Xu Chen was elected as the new Chairman of China General Chamber of Commerce – U.S.A. CGCC would like to congratulate Mr. Xu on his election.
Xu started his banking career at the Bank of China head office in 1990. He was the general manager of the bank's Olympic affairs department, which was set up to provide service for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, as its sole bank partner. Xu became the head of the bank's US subsidiary earlier this year.
