Speaker/Speech Background:

1. Dr./Professor Gong is an extremely famous historian, prolific writer

with many books/articles and genuine scholar with profound knowledge in

China Affairs, US-China relations, Taiwan Issues and China's Prospect

well into the 21st Century.

Professor Gong holds a Ph.D. in History from Harvard Unviersity,

specialized in China Recent Dynasty (Zhong Guo Jin Dai Shi). His

advisor was the world-renowned Harvard Professor Fei Zhen-Qin (Chinese

name) who founded Harvard East-Asian Institute. Dr. Gong has a fabulous

scholastic record of excellence and has been a famous scholar with

abundance of publications in English and Chinese as well. Dr. Gong was

originally from Mainland China, grew up in Taiwan, graduated from the

best university in Taiwan, Taiwan University, and went to its Graduate

School before he came to the US to pursue his Ph.D. at Harvard

University.

Dr. Gong has worked as a professor (faculty member) in Boston College

and in the United Nations as well. He is frequently invited to China

and teach/lecture at various famous institutions (including best

universities in Bejing and Chinese Social Academy of Sciences). He is

widely acclaimed as an expert in China affairs and showed deep knowledge

and unique insights through his years of publications and speeches on

China's Prospects.

An outstanding scholar as he is, he is also a hard-to-find, eloquent

speaker, profound and exciting and full of thoughtful ideas and

perspectives that communicate with audiences to your heart's content.

His in-depth speech covers a wide span of China's history and present

and future, with vivid facts and particular focus on the promising roles

our new/young overseas Chinese and new generation could play in the 21st

Century during China's steady growth into a powerful and rich country in

the world. Dr. Gong speaks at various seminars hosted by various

professional organizations in both American and Chinese community. His

speech is widely acclaimed as insightful and to-the-point with

experience and knowledge that benefit audience impressively. Listening

to his speech, you will find in him a genuine scholar and think-tanker

chatting with you with fruiful creative ideas, unusually insightful

viewpoints and convincing stories and facts. It confirms a famous

Chinese old saying --- A conversation with a genuine gentleman will

surpass 10 years of reading.

Dr. Gong has also been reputed for essays and proses besides his

academic writings. He published a few months ago a lengthy, convincing

essay in Qiao Bao (Chinapress) on Chongqing City as a summary of his

recent trip. We will copy (under his permission) and distribute his

splendid articles during the seminars for you to enjoy Dr. Gong's

elegant writing style.

Dr. Gong has been extremely busy with many research programs and we are

so honored that Dr. Gong could accept our invitation to deliver us a

speech and share his invaluable knowledge and insights with us on our

young generation's roles in revitalizing China. Please do not miss this

once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity to gain knowledge, learn experiences,

Gong.

Counselor succeeding former Counselor Weiwen He. CAPS, together with

many organizations, jointly hosted a welcome party for him on March 21,

2003, the first welcome party among all Chinese American professional

organizations in greater NY. While all of us have benefited a lot from

former Counselor He for his remarkable speeches to our members in NY and

Philly, we are so honored that Counselor Yuan could speak to us now to

share his great insights with us on our overseas Chinese's roles in

China's consistent growth as well as on Haigui's prospects and

contributions to and in China.

Coming from Ministry of Commerce (formerly Ministry of Foreign Economics

experience in various major businesses and trades with connections to

foreign businesses and governments. During the past years in the North

Yuan has accumlated first-hand, timely experiences (that few could

match) in witnessing the world economic cycle in North America.

Counselor Yuan is a reputed expert in business and commerce as well as

in finance and WTO issues. He has frequently been asked to deliver

public speeches in various business and government meetings in US

mainstream community.

Counselor Yuan's speech will bring to audience tremendous landscape and
