The Committee of 100 is a 501(c)(3) organization of Chinese Americans in business, government, academia and the arts whose stated aim is "to encourage constructive relations between the peoples of the United States and Greater China."[1] It was founded in 1990 by I. M. Pei.[2] Its current chair is H. Roger Wang, chairman and former chief executive officer (CEO) of the Golden Eagle International Group, and its current president is Zhengyu Huang.[3]
Background
The declared key functions of the committee are to serve as a bridge between the cultures and systems of China and America and also to provide a forum for those issues that Americans of Chinese descent face in bettering their lives in the United States.
