Chinese-Americans Think Not Enough Asian Americans on Corporate Boards in the US
A poll was conducted of 354 Chinese Americans who were chosen at random nationwide by from a surname list.
They were asked a series of questions about their attitudes toward China and their views on China and US-China Relations.
Question 29:
Do you agree that Asian Americans are underrepresented on corporate boards?
A whopping 80% of Chinese-Americans think they are hitting a ceiling.
Business leaders do not agree with this assessment. Only half of that (44%) say that Asian Americans are underrepresented.
On the negative side, an equal amount of business leaders (44%) thought that Asian Americans might be too few at the top whereas just 13% of Chinese-Americans thought they had sufficient representation.
What do you think?
These survey results were taken from a poll conducted by the Committee of 100.
The Committee of 100 is a national, nonpartisan organization composed of prominent American citizens of Chinese descent. The members of this group pool their resources to address important issues that concern the Chinese/American community but, imho, more importantly foster better US-Greater China relations.
Recently, this group tasked the polling firm ZOGBY to conduct an extensive survey of American Attitudes Toward China.
They polled the General Population (General Public) as well as Chinese Americans. Business leaders, Opinion leaders and Congressional staffers, subsets of the general public were also polled.
In keeping with the Committee of 100 ideals I hope it will create discussion and be used to better understand U.S.-China relations and help those concerned to formulate recommendations on how to improve relationships between these two great countries.
