Cisco, Boeing, Motorola, Chevrolet, UPS, Federal Express, and other famous companies presented and met with Chinese Ambassador Mr. Zhou Wenzhong.

The representatives expressed their sympathy and solicitude to the Chinese people, and they also showed their admiration to the Chinese government in the rapid and efficient performance during the earthquake relief.
