Biography

Ms. Chin-Ning Chu was born in mainland China, grew up in Taiwan, and emigrated to the United States in 1969.

Chin-Ning Chu is a descendant of Yuan-Zhang Chu, the pauper who became the first Emperor of the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644 AD) by defeating the Mongol rule of Genghis Khan. At the age of three, holding tight to her mother's skirt, she ran for her life across the Shanghai airport runway amid bombs bursting as her parents boarded the last commercial flight out of China. Her family, from a life of affluence, were reduced to refugees. At the age of twenty-two, clutching two suitcases, again she up-rooted herself and came to America. She brought two books, Sun Tzu - The Art of War and Li Zongwu - Thick Black Theory.[1][2]

At the age of ten, her father began to teach her strategies by reading from the text of the ancient Chinese Art of War classics nightly. In high school, she became a novice at a Catholic convent. While a full-time student, she worked as a television soap opera actress and then as a marketeer for one Taiwanese and two European pharmaceutical companies.[2]

Predictions as Asian Strategist

On May 26, 1989, in the heat of worldwide support for the Chinese students' efforts towards seeking democracy, Chin-Ning gave a speech which was recorded by The Colombian, a Vancouver, Washington newspaper, "The students in China must control their passion a little bit and go back to the strategy board because they cannot win as they are doing."[2]

On May 29, 1989, in the midst of all the foreign companies frantically pulling out of China, Chin-Ning told The Seattle Times, "The political struggle in Beijing is no reason for Americans doing business in China to panic . . . business opportunities for Americans are likely to become more open." Chu described the present confrontation between students and government leaders as "just one little turn" in a long series of events in China. It is always in the state of becoming. There never are any final consequences . . ."

On June 14, 1994, Capitol Hill was concerned over the danger of North Korea invading South Korea and their development of nuclear weapons. Appearing on "Larry King Live," Chin-Ning predicted the correct outcome—in opposition to positions taken by General Scowcroft and Senator Kerry of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.[3]
