The China General Chamber of Commerce (CGCC) ushered in Lunar New Year festivities with its annual gala in New York on January 15, spotlighting strengthened economic collaboration between the Chinese mainland and the United States. The event coincided with the approaching Year of the Horse, traditionally associated with perseverance and progress in Chinese culture.
Vornado Realty Trust received the CGCC's Outstanding Partner of the Year Award for its role in fostering cross-border business initiatives. The recognition comes as both nations navigate evolving economic partnerships in 2026, with multiple U.S. companies expanding operations in mainland Chinese markets.
CGCC Chairman emphasized the chamber's commitment to "building bridges through commercial diplomacy" during his keynote address. The gala attracted over 500 business leaders and diplomats, serving as a platform for dialogue ahead of anticipated bilateral trade discussions this spring.
