Praise of Chang-Lin Tien
In 2012, George P. Koo was quoted at the Daily Californian praising Chang-Lin Tien, who was considered to be Secretary of Energy under Bill Clinton while he was chancellor of University of California Berkeley, but was removed from the running in the wake of Chinagate, where the Chinese government used agents to funnel money to the Clinton-Gore re-election campaign, and Asian donors were solicited in a "pay to play" scheme where high donors were offered invitations to the White House.[3]
- "“He’s a symbol of Chinese-American success and contribution in this country, and it’s almost in spite of xenophobia that this country has about China … an example of somebody rising above the barrier,” said George Koo, a member of the Committee of 100, an organization dedicated to improving the political stature of Asian Americans and the United States’ relationship with China."
