Committee of 100 Chairman Dominic Ng, Charlie Woo, and Ming Hsu met with Martin Gold, pro bono Counsel of the 1882 Project, in Los Angeles on July 23. C-100 co-sponsored the 1882 Project to build support for the recent Congressional resolutions expressing regret for the Chinese Exclusion laws (1882 to 1943). As a former Senate staffer, Gold was especially important in crafting an effective legislative strategy to get the resolutions through Congress. Hsu said: “If one Senator had objected, this would have been impossible to pass.”

C-100 U.S.-China Perceptions Survey co-chairs Charlie Woo, Frank H. Wu, and Jeremy Wu participated in a live “Global Conversation on US-China Relations” with Sree Sreenivasan, Columbia Journalism School, on May 23. The webcast is an in-depth review of the survey methodology and findings.
Talk show host Tavis Smiley interviewed Charlie Woo, co-founder and CEO of Megatoys, on May 11. Smiley traveled to China twice with the Committee and was particularly interested in the survey finding that individuals who had visited the other country had more favorable views than those who had never been there. Woo said, “Interaction between the two peoples creates a better relationship. For those [Americans] who have visited China, their impression is pretty overwhelmingly more favorable, and for Chinese who come here, most have favorable opinions.”
