During the most recent visit, in June, Wong arranged meetings and hosted a reception. He is managing director of Edward Wong Development Co., where he is responsible for strategic planning, finance, and operation of real estate activities, and other global investments. He played an important role in the Xindiandi redevelopment project in Shanghai’s city center.
