Vice Premier Wu Yi Wows Appreciation Dinner Crowd

Vice Premier Wu Yi received a standing ovation before and after her keynote speech November 23 during AmCham-China’s Eighth Annual Government Appreciation Dinner at the China World Hotel. The crowd of nearly 800 AmCham members, guests and high ranking government officials from the U.S. and China, were treated to the words of the woman that Forbes Magazine recently described as one of the most powerful in the world. She noted that this year’s dinner theme of “Building Bridges” is an excellent metaphor for the relationship AmCham has with the U.S. and Chinese governments and business communities. The Vice Premier also used this occasion to deliver a message to the international community that China will remain open to foreign investment, a policy that her government has embraced in recent years.
