U.S. business legend Maurice R. Greenberg has actively provided advice and suggestions to China's reform and opening-up. He once served as an economic adviser to the municipal governments of Beijing and Shanghai and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and has been awarded the Golden Key of "Honorary Citizen" by several Chinese cities.
Greenberg used to be a senior executive of the global insurance giant American International Group (AIG). In China's early reform and opening-up period, many Western entrepreneurs hesitated at China's invitation, while he decisively led the company to the Chinese market and became a pioneer in the business community to promote Sino-foreign economic cooperation and advocate Sino-U.S. friendship and mutual benefit.
Over the years, Greenberg has been working to bridge the gap between China and foreign countries and has been a champion for joint economic cooperation. He had been firmly optimistic on China's development opportunities and has been supporting win-win cooperation between China and the United States.
