As a non-profit organization of proud Chinese Americans, we at Committee of 100 are very excited to see a highly qualified, Chinese American woman enter President-elect Biden\u2019s cabinet and become the first woman of color to hold this important position.<\/p>\n<p>As part of our dual mission to improve Sino-American relations, we look forward to working with Ms. Tai and the broader Biden administration to promote fair and constructive political and economic relations between the United States and China.<\/p>\n<p>When Ms. Tai spoke at The Committee of 100 &#8211; United States Association of Former Members of Congress event in March of 2019, it was clear that her knowledge and experience in U.S.-China relations would be a tremendous asset to future administrations and\u00a0all Americans.
