Christine Lu

Christine Lu has been involved in cross border China business for the past 15 years. She has spent the last several years at the intersection connecting China and the U.S. via technology and cross border events.

Based on a network of China contacts and her need to stay connected and current with China, Christine Lu launched a series of podcasts for Entrepreneur Magazine upon her return to the US and used that base of content to found The China Business Network. She sold her stake in the company in early 2009 and went on her version of a “sabbatical” which included being an organizer of two [re]think conferences, two GeeksOnaPlane tours, launching TEDxShanghai – the first TEDx in China, co-organizing the first TEDxHonolulu and getting pulled into great advisory roles with companies like Tudou.com (one of China’s largest video sharing sites) and projects for orgs like the Hawaii Tourism Authority as well as initiatives such as GeeksOnAPlane and the Startup Visa movement. Her newest obsession is a cross border company called Affinity China - a private network which combines high-touch and high-tech with one goal in mind: providing access to unique luxury, lifestyle, and travel opportunities for its members as they go beyond China.
