Compared with investment institutions of other types,CMIG enjoys three competitive advantages. First, we have quality Global Advisory Council and excellent executive team. Second,CMIG is completely run by private capital.

I worked for American investors when I first visited China in 1979. The Chinese people I came into contact with at that time have now become a constructive pillar for the Sino-US relations. I hope CMIG can invest in this field well,and become a better pillar for the bilateralrelationship.
