On January 29, 2018, the Committee of 100 (C100) partnered with The Commonwealth Club of California to present “China’s Investments in the U.S.—Toxic or Tonic?”. This was the sixth in a series of U.S.-China Policy Speakers Forums and drew an audience of more than 300.
The distinguished panel of speakers was moderated by C100 member George Koo, and featured a discussion between Pin Ni, President of Wanxiang America Corporation (a Wholly Owned U.S. Subsidiary of Wanxiang Group Company in Hangzhou, China) and Dr. Yukon Huang, Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and Former Country Director for China at the World Bank. C100 member and former Commonwealth Club Chair Dennis Wu provided opening remarks.
Special thanks to C100 members Ken Fong for his generous support and initiation of this speaker series and Dennis Wu for his ongoing support of the series. Other C100 members attending included Chairman Frank H. Wu, Dan Chao, Buck Gee, Roger Wang, and Ambassador Linda Tsao Yang.

This event is part of C100’s ongoing U.S.-China Policy Speaker Series. In collaboration with the Commonwealth Club of California, the series serves as a platform to promote constructive dialogue on U.S.-China relations in the Bay Area. Held quarterly, these events invite policy experts with contrasting views on China to have a conversation and share their ideas. The goal is to provide nuanced perspectives beyond the headlines on issues that impact U.S.-China bilateral relations with an emphasis on constructive collaboration as opposed to conflict.
