Last night in New York, the China General Chamber of Commerce (CGCC) rolled out its annual New Year Gala with glitz and global vibes 🏙️✨.
The event, held on Thursday, Jan. 15, rallied business leaders and changemakers who’ve been driving China-US ties forward. It was a celebration of partnerships that connect continents—think of it like a cross-border networking fest, reminiscent of friend groups in Kuala Lumpur or Seoul uniting over tech pitches and street food stalls 😋🌏.
With Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) just weeks away, 2026 ushers in the Year of the Horse 🐎—a symbol of energy, progress, and new beginnings. CGCC tapped Vornado Realty Trust as its Outstanding Partner of the Year, spotlighting the real estate giant’s role in bridging US and China markets.
For young pros in South and Southeast Asia, this scene isn’t just about suits and speeches—it’s a reminder of how global collaboration sparks innovation, from fintech in Singapore to eco-startups in Dhaka. After all, building these relationships today shapes our career paths and the tech trends of tomorrow 🚀.
As we gear up for Lunar New Year celebrations, let this gala be a nudge: your next big collab might be just an international handshake away 🤝.
