The Committee of 100 is a national non-profit membership organization that brings a Chinese American perspective to issues concerning Asian Americans and U.S.-China relations. Founded in 1990 by I.M. Pei, Yo-Yo Ma, Henry S. Tang, Oscar Tang, Shirley Young, and the late Chien-Shiung Wu, C100 draws upon the collective experience, knowledge and resources of our members—Chinese Americans who have achieved prominence in a variety of fields—who work in partnership towards our twin missions: to ensure the full inclusion of Chinese Americans in all facets of American life, and to advance constructive relations between the leaders and peoples of the United States and Greater China.
Each year, C100 mobilizes its distinguished members to advance our twin missions through policy engagement initiatives, civic engagement initiatives, and participation in global bridge-building through philanthropy. Programmatic activities include a high-level Annual Conference, briefings on Capitol Hill covering U.S.-China relations, engagement with national policy-makers in China and the U.S., a bi-national survey on U.S.-China public perceptions, white paper publications, regional events on U.S.-China policy and Asian American issues, high-level delegation trips between the U.S. and China, and next generation leadership development initiatives. C100 has also recently launched a legal defense and education fund to support individuals facing civil rights violations and to promote due process.
