CCG President Henry Huiyao Wang and Secretary-General Mabel Lu Miao expressed their hope that this visit would serve as a new starting point to further strengthen ties with foreign embassies in China and to foster more productive dialogue and collaboration on shared global concerns, including global governance, multilateral cooperation, green development, and people-to-people exchanges.

The Center for China and Globalization (CCG) is a non-governmental think tank based in Beijing, founded by Dr. Henry Huiyao WANG and Dr. Mable Lu MIAO in 2008. CCG has been granted the official special consultative status by the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (ECOSOC) as a non-governmental organization. In the 2020 Global Go To Think Tank Index by the University of Pennsylvania Think Tank and Civil Society Program (TTCSP), CCG ranked 64th of the top think tanks worldwide and among the top 50 “best independent think tanks.” CCG now has more than ten branches and overseas representatives and over 100 full-time researchers and staff engaged in research on globalization, global governance, international economy and trade, international relations and global migration. CCG is also one of the rare national Postdoctoral Programme Research Centers, certified China’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, outside China’s state apparatus.
