Celebrating Two Decades of the China General Chamber of Commerce - USA and Its Impact
On January 6, 2025, the China General Chamber of Commerce - USA (CGCC) proudly announces an exciting milestone—it is approaching its 20th anniversary. Launched in 2005, CGCC has transformed from a modest assembly of forward-thinking companies into the most significant independent, non-partisan, and non-governmental organization advocating for Chinese investments within the United States. This remarkable journey has been characterized by growth, adaptability, and a steadfast commitment to serving as a robust platform for dialogue and collaboration between U.S. and Chinese stakeholders.
As part of the celebrations leading up to this anniversary, CGCC will host the "Twenty for Twenty" recognition event, honoring twenty dedicated companies and partners that have significantly contributed to CGCC's journey over the years. This prestigious recognition will take place at the grand CGCC 20th Anniversary Gala on February 11, 2025, at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City. The event will not only celebrate these honored recipients but also reflect on the collective achievements of the business community.
The recipients of the "Twenty for Twenty" recognition represent a diverse array of sectors and are acknowledged for their sustained support, which has been crucial for CGCC in enhancing its programs and expanding its reach. This year’s honored entities include established names such as Bank of China USA, Ernst & Young LLP, and China Construction America, among others—each playing an essential role in facilitating lasting business ties between the two nations.
Through these recognitions, CGCC emphasizes the importance of building and sustaining partnerships that have the potential to shape the future landscape of U.S.-China business relations. The contributions made by these organizations reflect their commitment to fostering an environment conducive to mutual growth and opportunities.
For CGCC, the theme for this momentous occasion is "Building Connections and Creating Opportunities." The gala will be a celebration of past achievements while focusing on future aspirations. It will provide an excellent opportunity to recognize and engage with the leadership that has driven innovation, collaboration, and success within the organization.
