Our Advisors
One of ChinaSF’s distinguishing characteristics from similar initiatives in other states and cities, high-caliber private support from the San Francisco and Chinese business community.
ChinaSF has established two advisory boards, one in China and one in San Francisco to provide strategic guidance, networks, and connections to ChinaSF. We have world-class representatives from business, academic, government and non-governmental sectors. The quality of our growing Advisory Boards, together with our active strategic partners will help foster networking and information-sharing opportunities between the prominent business men and women doing business in China and North America.
