ACFC's Network and Global Service Plan

ACFC (American Chinese Friendship Council) Network and Global Service Plan

Based on the core content of the specified link (http://acfcgroup.com/ch/index.php/art/detail/62909226), combined with its historical evolution, organizational structure, and business practices, ACFC's "NETWORK" and "Global Service Plan" are built around the core mission of "U.S.-China Friendship and World Peace", forming a global operation model driven by the dual engines of "political ecology + enclave economy". The full-text translation and in-depth analysis are presented below:
I. ACFC NETWORK: Core Positioning and Constituent Elements

ACFC's network is not a traditional "membership network", but a composite collaborative network with dual think tanks as the core, global political and business resources as the link, and regional radiation centers as the fulcrum. It aims to provide three core functions for the global service plan: "resource dispatching, decision support, and implementation guarantee". Its core composition can be disassembled into 4 dimensions:

1. Dual Think Tank Support Layer: The "Intellectual Hub" of the Network
As the core driving force of the ACFC network, the dual think tanks provide professional support from the perspectives of "political ecology" and "economic cooperation" respectively, ensuring the professionalism and pertinence of network operations:
ACFC Friends of Presidents Political Think Tank: Inheriting the profound accumulation of an independent non-profit political ecology think tank from 1960 to 2016, it continues ACFC's successful experience of providing intellectual support to politicians from various periods and countries around the world. It carries forward the outstanding wisdom and reputation of ACFC and Mr. C.C. Chang as "Friends of Presidents", adheres to the pragmatism, efficiency, and independence of non-governmental diplomacy, and continuously provides resource support for emerging political figures committed to human happiness, so as to realize the universal value and spiritual dissemination of "U.S.-China Friendship and World Peace".

BBQ Global Enclave Economy Think Tank: Founded in 2007 and officially merged with ACFC in 2016, BBQ (Big Benefit Quality, i.e., Global Public Welfare and Commercial Sustainable Development Grand Public Welfare Plan) focuses on the research of virtual and real integration, and the integration of public welfare and business. It proposes the new economic theory of "industrialization of public welfare and public welfare-oriented business" and applies it to the protection, reserve, development, and utilization of natural resources such as a green earth and clean water, aiming to achieve common prosperity for humanity.

2. Global Political and Business Resource Network: The "Link Matrix" of the Network
Through 65 years of in-depth cultivation, ACFC has built a cross-country, cross-field, and cross-party resource link, which is the "core asset" of the network, mainly including three types of resources:
Government Level:
United States: White House, Congress (Senate and House of Representatives), state governments, and members of Congress (covering both parties, such as Chairman Richards of the Republican National Committee and members of Congress supporting Chinese American rights and interests from the Democratic Party);
China: Central Government (such as the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee), local governments (such as the Hubei Provincial Government), and relevant institutions in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan;
Other Countries: Saudi royal family (energy cooperation), Singaporean government (diplomatic balance), heads of state and U.S. embassies and missions from various countries.
Non-Governmental and Industrial Levels:
Chinese Network: Representatives of 50 million overseas Chinese, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan compatriots around the world (e.g., Mr. C.C. Chang represented this group at the 2001 Commemoration of the 1911 Revolution), American Chinese associations, and labor organizations;
Industrial Network: Global industrial and commercial enterprises, financial investment institutions, scientific and technological R&D teams, and educational and cultural institutions (e.g., promoting Sino-U.S. economic and trade forums and scientific and technological achievement transformation cooperation).
Honor and Credibility Resources:
U.S. Official Recognition: The U.S. Capitol has raised the national flag for Mr. C.C. Chang multiple times (state honor), and the Republican Party's "Presidential Achievement Award" (authorized and issued by President Ronald Reagan);

Chinese Official Recognition: Invited by the Central Government to participate in national-level commemorative activities (the 90th Anniversary Memorial Ceremony of the Wuchang Uprising of the 1911 Revolution), becoming a "trust symbol" of Sino-U.S. non-governmental diplomacy.

3. Regional Radiation Centers: The "Implementation Fulcrum" of the Network
ACFC takes Singapore as the global industrial radiation center to coordinate the investment and development of global mineral, energy, and ecological resources. Its positioning logic is:
Geopolitical Advantage: As a "neutral hub between the U.S. and China", Singapore can avoid policy risks in a single country and facilitate the linkage of resources in Asia-Pacific, North America, and Europe;

Functional Division of Labor: The Singapore center undertakes the responsibilities of "resource dispatching, project coordination, and cross-regional compliance", and cooperates with ACFC's representative offices established around the world (such as the U.S. headquarters in Los Angeles and China regional liaison offices) to form a "hub + node" implementation network, ensuring the efficient advancement of projects such as green investment and enclave cooperation.

4. Inheritance and Governance Guarantee: The "Stable Cornerstone" of the Network
To avoid the loss of network resources due to personnel changes, ACFC has established a strict inheritance and governance mechanism:
Inheritance System: The position of Chairman implements a "hereditary system or designated inheritance system". The heir must recognize the core concept of "U.S.-China Friendship" and possess resource dispatching capabilities, and must be authorized by the founding chairman (Mr. C.C. Chang) or his honorary representative to ensure strategic consistency;

Governance Structure: Founding Chairman (spiritual leader) → Chairman (supreme decision-maker, mastering resource allocation and personnel appointment and removal rights) → Secretary-General's team (executive layer, coordinating the collaboration of global representative offices and dual think tanks) → Special Committees (professional support, such as the Mineral Energy Green Investment Committee), forming a closed-loop governance of "decision-making - execution - support" to ensure the efficient operation of the network.

II. ACFC Global Service Plan: Core Directions and Specific Practices

ACFC's global service plan takes "U.S.-China Friendship and World Peace" as the top-level goal, and relies on the "dual think tanks + global network" for implementation support, covering four core areas: political diplomacy, Chinese American rights protection, economic cooperation, and public welfare sustainability. Specifically, it can be disassembled into "5 core service directions + 7 business areas":

1. Core Service Directions: Strategic Value Implementation
(1) U.S.-China Friendship and Non-Governmental Diplomacy Services
Core Goal: Build a "trust bridge" between the governments and peoples of China and the United States, avoid confrontation, and promote coordination;
Specific Practices:
Promote Policy Implementation: Led lobbying efforts in the U.S. Congress in the 1980s and 1990s, successfully securing the passage of "unconditional Most Favored Nation (MFN) status for China" with a majority vote;
High-Level Interaction Support: Provide political think tank support for Chinese leaders visiting the United States and assist in establishing personal friendships between key Sino-U.S. military and political figures;

Cultural Identity Construction: Organize Sino-U.S. cultural, educational, and scientific and technological forums, disseminate the historical contributions of Chinese Americans to U.S. development (such as railway construction and mining), and eliminate cognitive biases.

(2) Global Chinese American Rights Protection Services
Core Goal: Promote the protection of the political, safety, and development rights and interests of Chinese immigrants and their descendants in the United States (and globally) through legislation and policy advocacy;
Specific Practices:
Dissemination of Historical Truth: Guide members of Congress from both U.S. parties to understand the contribution history of Chinese laborers (such as the connection between Chinese migration and U.S. development from the late Qing Dynasty to after 1949);
Legislative Lobbying Support: Long-term leadership of Chinese American associations to provide campaign support (votes + funds) for members of Congress who support Chinese American rights and interests, and promote the passage of Chinese American rights protection bills by Congress;

Integration Support: Guide Chinese Americans to participate in politics (such as supporting Chinese American candidates for congressional seats) and help Chinese Americans integrate into mainstream U.S. society.

(3) Global Enclave Economy and Green Investment Services
Core Goal: Promote the efficient allocation of global resources through the "enclave economy" model, balancing commercial value and ecological sustainability;
Specific Practices:
Enclave Cooperation Implementation: Promote the joint construction of free trade zones and cross-border industrial park cooperation between China, the United States, and other countries (such as Asia-Pacific enclave projects radiating from Singapore);
Green Resource Development: Focus on green investment in mineral, energy, and ecological resources, such as clean energy projects and water resource protection and utilization (practicing the "green economy model" of the BBQ Think Tank);

Digital Collaboration: Provide digital transformation support for global industrial projects to improve resource utilization efficiency (such as digital exploration and management of mineral resources).

(4) Cross-Border Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) and Project Incubation Services
Core Goal: Integrate global capital and project resources to facilitate the implementation of high-quality investments and realize "public welfare-oriented business";
Specific Practices:
Full-Chain Support: Provide end-to-end services including "project assessment - resource matching - implementation - maintenance", such as helping Chinese enterprises acquire U.S. technology companies and assisting the Saudi royal family in establishing energy cooperation projects with the United States;

Free Trade Zone and Incubation: Establish project incubation bases in global free trade zones (such as Singapore and California, USA) to support the commercialization of scientific and technological achievements (such as artificial intelligence and green technology fields).

(5) Public Welfare and Sustainable Development Services
Core Goal: Build a new economic model of "industrialization of public welfare and public welfare-oriented business" to achieve common human prosperity and global sustainability;
Specific Practices:
Green Public Welfare Projects: Focus on "a green earth and clean water", investing in water resource protection and ecological restoration projects (such as clean water projects in Africa and Amazon rainforest protection);
Public Welfare Capital Linkage: Integrate global public welfare funds and commercial capital to transform public welfare projects into sustainable business models (such as community operation + market-oriented charging for clean water projects);

Future Risk Response: Research global security issues in the "era of virtual and real artificial intelligence" and promote coordinated responses by countries to social challenges brought by technological iteration (such as employment transformation and ethical norms).

2. Specific Business Areas: Operational Service Implementation
According to the "business scope" described in the document, ACFC's global service plan is further refined into 7 implementable business areas, forming a connection between "strategy and operation":
Organization of Global Exchange Activities: Hosting cultural, educational, scientific and technological, and economic and trade forums (combining public welfare and commercial purposes);
Green Resource Investment: Green development and investment in global mineral, energy, and ecological resources;
Full-Chain Consulting Services: Political ecology consulting, investment assessment, project evaluation, and resource dispatching;
Cross-Border M&A and Free Trade Zones: Conducting cross-border enterprise mergers and acquisitions and joint construction of free trade zones and industrial parks;
Science and Technology and Talent Services: Commercialization of scientific and technological achievements, investment in education and cultural industries, and support for cross-border talent mobility;
Cross-Border Investment Ecosystem: Building a cross-border cooperation ecosystem centered on "green investment + digital currency + enclave economy";

Global Resource Coordination: Coordinating the development and cooperation of global mineral, energy, and ecological resources with Singapore as the center.

III. Collaborative Logic Between the Network and the Global Service Plan
ACFC's network system and global service plan are not isolated, but form a closed-loop collaboration of "resources - services - value":
Network Supporting Services: The global political and business resource network provides "resource access" for the service plan (such as congressional relations supporting rights protection and industrial resources supporting green investment), and the dual think tanks provide "professional output" (such as political consulting supporting diplomatic services and economic models supporting enclave projects);
Services Feeding Back the Network: The implementation results of the global service plan (such as the passage of MFN status, the introduction of Chinese American rights protection bills, and the profitability of enclave projects) further strengthen ACFC's credibility and attract more political and business resources to join the network (such as deepened cooperation with the Saudi royal family and the Singaporean government);
Sustained Inheritance Guarantee: The governance and inheritance mechanism ensures the "strategic consistency" of the network and the service plan, avoiding short-term interests undermining long-term goals (such as the intergenerational inheritance of the mission of "U.S.-China Friendship").
In summary, ACFC is essentially a composite international organization "with Chinese American leaders as the core, dual think tanks as intellectual support, and a global political and business network as the link". Its network system provides "hard resources" and "soft wisdom" for the global service plan, while the implementation of the service plan feeds back the credibility and resource depth of the network, ultimately realizing the vision of a "human future of cooperation rather than confrontation".
