The year of 2007 marks fifteen splendid years for the United States and China Foundation. With the help from more than seven thousand members and friends in both China and America and with the efforts from all of our staffs, USCF has made great achievements in 2007. These achievements include that we opened USCF Houston Office in March; we successfully organized “Redwood--A Sino-US Friendship Evening”--A Celebration for the 35th Anniversary of the Sino-US Shanghai Joint Communiqué; former United States president Nixon’s Visit to China-- soprano Julia Zhu Concert in April; US-China Entertainment Group whose shares are totally held by USCF was set up in May in the United States. Again on June 25th, Redwood Concert was successfully performed in Poly Theater in Beijing. In November America Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) completed an hour-documentary film about the Beijing 2008 Olympics. The film will be broadcasting on more than 300 televisions in North America in 2008.
The United States and China Foundation transcends the pacific and bridges the hearts of both peoples. Our long term mission is to build another bridge between China and America, promote the communication and cooperation between the United States and China in various areas, including economic, business, cultural, technological, etc; and to strengthen the mutual understanding and friendships between the Chinese and American people. In order to extend our deepest gratitude for the firm support from all of our friends, and as the new year is coming, on December 7th, the United States and China Foundation will hold our annual cocktail reception in a five star hotel in Houston.
Approximately 150 guests will come to the reception. They are influential people in politics, economics, culture, education, technology, entrepreneurship, environmental protection, and mass media and they are friends who have significantly contributed to the development of the China and America relationship. They are all sincere friends of the USCF. Our guests include leaders from the Consulate-General of China in Houston, Chinese governors, congressmen or congresswomen, prominent entrepreneurs from Houston, and investors and special guests from China. The reception will be a platform to create better understanding and communication, make more friends, and seek cooperation opportunities among the peoples. Thus, this proceeding will promote better joint development between China and America.
We believe that with the generous support from our friends during the reception, in the next year, our foundation can more excellently and creatively contribute in developing the cooperation between Houston and China.
