Since China opened its door to economic reform, its GDP has risen from less than $150 billion in 1978 to $12.25 trillion in 2017 to become the 2nd largest economy in the world. As a result, China has lifted 600-700 million out of poverty, an achievement that is unprecedented in human history.
Contrast to the expectation of the West, China modernizes without surrendering to "wholesales Westernization". Instead, China created its own unique system and model that combines the best of East and West while discarding the undesirable parts of both.
With a front row seat witnessing and participating at China's rise in the past 40 years, Y.P. will share his Insights into China's growing global influence and key drivers, innovation and institutional structure behind its economic rise as well as its potential impact to USA.

Up until last year, I strongly believed that government would be the last place I would turn for help. I simply didn’t think I would be heard and perpetuated that myth for 25 years while working in the private sector. Over time, I began to feel strongly that small businesses needed more of a voice in government so I became Washington State Department of Labor and Industry’s (L&I’s) Small Business Liaison last year. In this speaking engagement, I will dispel five commonly held myths about the L&I and explain the resources available to your small business clients.
Whether you are a business owner/professional or a third party representative such as accountants or attorneys, learning the no-fee services and resources available from the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries will help you and your clients succeed.
About the speaker
Rose Gundersen is the Small Business Liaison with the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries. Her job is to support small business owners by helping them better understand their rights, the laws, and how to navigate L&I’s systems. She also helps troubleshoot issues and shares business concerns with agency leaders, advocating on their behalf.
With more than 25 years of corporate experience and a few other small business and non-profit start-up experiences, Rose has intimate knowledge of challenges in tax and regulatory compliance issues.
Rose has a Business Degree from the University of Washington and an Executive Law Degree from Concord University. Her upbringing in Hong Kong means that Chinese is her native language. She is married with three young adult children
