China’s Premier Wen Jiabao was honored at a luncheon at the Waldorf=Astoria Hotel on September 23 2008 hosted by the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations and US-China Business Council, along with the Committee of 100 and a number of other organizations. As part of his activities in New York where he was attending the United Nations General Assembly, Wen gave a major address to this gathering of 550 guests from international affairs organizations, government, business, and academia. Among those making welcoming remarks were U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.
Wen spoke broadly about U.S.-China relations, discussing the general principles underlying Chinese foreign relations and expressed his confidence that “whoever becomes the next President of the United States, China-U.S. relations will continue to move forward, as the trend of history will not turn back.” He also thanked Americans for the volunteer work and donations to help the people of Sichuan cope with the May earthquake. “We also saw many scenes showing China-U.S. friendship during the Beijing Olympic Games that ended last month,” he said, noting for instance that three generations of the Bush family attended the Olympics.
There was strong representation from the Committee at the luncheon. C-100 Chairman John L. Fugh sat at the head table, with members Anla Cheng, David Ho, Bernard Joei, Cheng Li, I.M. Pei, Betty Lee Sung, Donald Tang, Henry Tang, Charles P. Wang, Shing-Tung Yau, Shirley Young, Pauline Yu, and Ya-Qin Zhang, and C-100 Executive Director Alice Mong and Executive Counselor John Young also in attendance.[2]
