New Technology Brings New Opportunities: U.S.-China Business Forum – Forbes

Zhonglu Group Vice Chairman George Wang
Technology advances are bringing new ways for U.S. and China businesses to try to work together at a time of geopolitical tension, Zhonglu Group Vice Chairman George Wang told attends at the U.S.-China Business Forum in New York on Tuesday.
In the electric vehicle field, for instance, change is fast and intertwining is rapid. Tesla over just in the past few years become one of the largest electric vehicle makers in China. Meanwhile, BYD — backed by Warren Buffett yet little known outside of China –has achieved a market cap larger than GM and Ford combined, and become a supplier to Tesla.
“Who would have imagined that only a few years ago?” Wang said of the Tesla-BYD tie. “We see new forms of U.S.-China collaboration taking shape.” In the U.S., for instance, China-based SEMCORP earlier this year announced plans to invest more than $900 million in plant in Ohio that will produce separators for lithium-ion batteries.
Wang’s father, Wang Chaobin, founded Zhonglu in Zhengzhou more than 30 years ago. He holds an estimated fortune worth $1.9 billion on the Forbes Real-Time Billionaires List. “We are proud of what the private sector has contributed to China,” Wang said.
To be sure, Wang noted, “we have seen ups and downs in the China and the U.S. economy in the last several years,” as well as currently strained political ties.
Nevertheless, “the U.S.-China business community still has hope for greatly improved ties between the two countries,” Wang said. He said the elimination of tariffs imposed under President Trump would benefit economies and business from both sides.
The 4th U.S.-China Business Forum, held at Forbes on Fifth in New York, was organized by Forbes China, the Chinese-language edition of Forbes. The gathering was held in person for the first time since 2019; it was held online in 2020 and 2021 during the height of the Covid 19 pandemic.

Morgan.
