Reporter Nan Gao From Silicon Valley - As China joins the WTO, applies to host 2008 Olympics and the US economy slows, high-tech professional organizations with a mainland China background are more and more popular, becoming hard sought after partners of both European countries and US to play the key role of bridge to help them enter the Chinese market smoothly. Hong Chen, President of Hua Yuan Science and Technology Association, explained that most of the members came from Mainland China. Hua Yuan gathered many entrepreneurs with successful IPO enterprises - besides Hong Chen himself, there are Stan Wang from Viador Inc., Min Zhu from WebEx, Hongliang Lu from UTStarcom, etc.. As strong supporters and board members of Hua Yuan, they were all excellent choices. With location and cultural advantage, Hua Yuan Science and Technology Association is very active and visible in Mainland China. Hong Chen introduced that in December 2000, Hua Yuan and Zhong Guan Chun co-hosted the CEO Forum which had about 600 attendees. In May last year, Hua Yuan held "The Night of Hua Yuan" in Beijing's High-tech Week and attracted many Chinese entrepreneurs with high visibility, including Wenjing Wang, founder of (UFSoft) Yongyou Group, a Chinese financial software company, and Wei Deng, one of the Ten Outstanding Entrepreneurs. As China makes progress in joining WTO and applying to host 2008 Olympics, Hua Yuan will actively participate in integrated activities by Chinese oversea intellectuals, and cooperate with other organizations in Silicon Valley to help Chinese entrepreneurs to start their own business, and lead US companies into Asian and Chinese market. Shou-Chen Zhang, Vice President of Hua Yuan Science and Technology Association, indicated that Hua Yuan will set up Executive Club, which will help senior management professionals and entrepreneurs with Chinese market tie to visit China. For Chinese entrepreneurs who visit the US, the Executive Club will be an important playground. So far, big companies such as Hua Wei Telecommunication Equipment Manufacture and Lian Xiang Group, a PC manufacturer, have joined the club and become members. Shou Chen Zhang is also a consultant for Pudong High-tech Zone and Yangtze Plan professor for Qinghua University. He said that Hua Yuan will vigorously introduce the way of Silicon Valley to China, reveal Hua Yuan's strength and talent. Gerald Yin said that they wanted everyone to know that Hua Yuan was the best go-between organization for anyone to seek cooperation with any company in the Silicon Valley and strategic partnership. Gerald Yin, VP of Applied Materials and board member of
Hua Yuan, pointed out that for 20 years China has been undertaking opening
and reforming policy. Amid the slowing down of global economy, China is
a relatively rapidly developing region with advantage of a tremendous
market and low cost. Yin thought that Hua Yuan, seizing this historical
opportunity, has the best hope to play a big role in the greater Silicon
Valley area and promote bilateral exchanges. |
