Wife Paula was founding Director of the International Center (Davies International Center since 2005) at Princeton University from 1974 to June 2010. She is one of the best known Princetonians. While visiting the Chinese University of Hong Kong in the early 2000s I met a fellow visitor for breakfast and told him I was from Princeton. He immediately asked, "Do you know Paula Chow?"

Visit China often to learn more about the Chinese economy from friends in academic, business and government institutions.
