It is a fast-growing startup led by a predominantly Chinese-American board familiar with the cross-border space.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTogether we can be a powerful voice to encourage political leaders to make the right decisions for this great country and its businesses and employees,\u201d the PAC\u2019s president and Toolots director Tim Zhu said at the event.<\/p>\n<p>According to Zhu, the PAC is non-partisan and is expected to help the company and related industries hedge against potential policy risks that might arise in the import-export space, industrial manufacturing, or commerce more broadly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHelping to push for better, more industry-friendly congressional policy is the main objective of the political action committee,\u201d said Jason Fu. PACs are created for the purpose of raising and contributing financial support for candidates\u2019 campaigns and thereby play an important role in American politics, both in terms of election results and legislative outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToolots acts as a bridge between US and China for the countries\u2019 respective industrial equipment markets. We believe that our cross-border platform not only benefits manufacturing in both the US and China, but also will have an outsized positive impact on economic growth for both trading partners,\u201d said Jessie Zhan, secretary of the PAC and Toolots board director.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Toolots continues to grow its operations, the company will take on more social and industrial responsibilities\u201d said Dr. Peter Wei, a director of Toolots. \u201cIt\u2019s good to be prepared and forward-looking both when it comes to business as well as navigating the ever-volatile political environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lapost.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DSC07898.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6121\" src=\"https:\/\/lapost.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DSC07898.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"727\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lapost.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DSC07898.jpg 727w, https:\/\/lapost.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DSC07898-300x149.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 727px) 100vw, 727px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lapost.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DSC07870.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6119\" src=\"https:\/\/lapost.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DSC07870.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"596\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lapost.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DSC07870.jpg 596w, https:\/\/lapost.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DSC07870-300x181.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 596px) 100vw, 596px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lapost.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DSC07927.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6124\" src=\"https:\/\/lapost.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DSC07927.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"596\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lapost.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DSC07927.jpg 596w, https:\/\/lapost.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DSC07927-300x181.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 596px) 100vw, 596px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lapost.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DSC07937.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6126\" src=\"https:\/\/lapost.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DSC07937.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lapost.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DSC07937.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lapost.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DSC07937-300x124.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toolots Trade and Commerce PAC, a&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6126,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6257","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ca-local"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6257","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6257"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6257\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6260,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6257\/revisions\/6260"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
