C100’s Six Key Messages

Developed through member engagements over a six month period, we have distilled the beliefs and values of the membership into six key messages:

nn We are American citizens who are proud of our contributions to the United States and our Chinese cultural heritage.

nn We are an organization of Chinese Americans united by our belief in core American values and the fundamental principles of equality and fairness for all people, of all races, religions, national origins, genders, and creeds.

nn We support the full inclusion and advancement of the more than five million Chinese Americans in the United States and believe that America is stronger because of its immigrant heritage and diverse citizenry. We firmly reject all forms of prejudice, intolerance, and discrimination.

nn We believe the well-being of all American citizens is affected by the U.S.-China relationship and we encourage Sino-American dialogue and cooperation whenever possible.

nn We believe progress occurs when the peoples of the United States and China find common ground and work together to solve the world’s most pressing challenges. We call on both governments and non-governmental parties to behave as responsible stakeholders and collaborate peacefully.

nn We believe in a deeper mutual knowledge of the unique histories and cultures of the United States and China to foster mutual understanding and benefits. We are

c100 Scholars program

Established in 2005, and formerly known as the Leadership Scholarship Program, the C100 Scholars Program (CSP) aims to foster the leadership potential of young Chinese scholars and encourage better understanding and exchanges between the two countries. The CSP expanded to include both Chinese students and American students who study in China and partners with 23 leading Chinese and American academic institutions – such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Jiaotong University, New York University Shanghai, and Duke Kunshan University.

In 2019, the C100 Scholars Program Executive Committee awarded its largest cohort ever of 56 students who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in the fields of social services, innovation & entrepreneurship, and US-China relations. Ambassador Wenzhong Zhou delighted scholars and attendees alike in giving impromptu remarks and presenting awards to the scholars. The Ambassador’s remarks crystallized the impact of the Greater China Conference 2019: “I am deeply encouraged by the efforts of the Committee of 100 and heartened by the very meaningful C100 Scholars Program, seeing the future of the U.S.-China relationship in the hands of youngsters like these.”

Dr. Carter Tseng, Founder and CEO of the Little Dragon Foundation and Co-Chair of CSP Executive Committee, said, “We are excited to welcome this year’s cohort of students. These students are at the forefront of their generation. Against the backdrop of a rapidly changing global landscape, we hope that these leaders of tomorrow will play a key role in helping bridge better understanding and exchanges between the U.S. and China in the future.” | 2020 annual report o mmi ttee annual o f 100 | 2020 c

Shirley Young

The Committee of 100 is greatly saddened by the passing of Committee of 100 member, Governor and First Chair Shirley Young. Her larger than life contributions leave behind a legacy of dedication to the arts, culture, and community.

“Shirley cared deeply for the mission and future of C100. It was her wish that all members will come together, as accomplished citizens of this country, to enhance the role of all Chinese Americans.”
