Guohua (Annie) Wu, Senior Partner of Jincheng Tongda & Neal, has recently been elected as Director of Committee 2005.
Committee 2005 was founded by eight influential overseas returnees, Huiyao Wang, Boming Wang, Suning Tian, Weijia Wang, Min Tang, Jun Fu, Min Zhao and Shan Li. The vision of the founders was to combine the rich resources and international perspective of China’s most gifted overseas returnees to form a think tank that would bring global “best practices” to bear on China’s growth and development. Committee 2005 includes many well-known overseas returnees in China. These directors are not only pioneers in their professions, but also have been involved in the creation of China’s growth and development.
The election of Ms. Wu as Director of Committee 2005 is a recognition of her professional achievements, as well as appreciation for her devotion to promoting cross-cultural dialogues and exchanges between China and the U.S.
