New York, January 15, 2026 — On the evening of January 15th local time, the China General Chamber of Commerce in the United States (CGCC) held its 2026 Lunar Year of the Horse Awards Gala in New York under the theme “Riding the Waves Together, Moving Forward with Determination.” The event brought together nearly 300 representatives from the political and business communities of China and the United States to explore new avenues for cooperation and development.

In his keynote address, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng emphasized that, despite growing global uncertainties, the historical truth that “cooperation benefits both sides, while confrontation harms both” between China and the United States remains unchanged. He expressed hope that both nations would implement the consensus reached by their respective heads of state, strengthen areas of cooperation, and work jointly to foster healthy and sustainable bilateral relations.

Hu Wei, President of CGCC and General Manager of the Bank of China in the United States, highlighted in his remarks that trust and collaboration are particularly valuable in today’s rapidly changing world. He noted that the Year of the Horse, symbolizing vitality, ambition, and perseverance, encourages both sides to continue advancing together toward shared goals of innovation, growth, and partnership.

That evening, the CGCC honored Sunon, alongside Sany Group and Pop Mart, with the highly coveted “Brand of the Year Award.” The recognition commends Sunon’s outstanding contributions to fostering economic and trade relations while promoting local community development and global economic growth.

For years, Sunon has been delivering comprehensive solutions for creating healthy, sustainable, comfortable, and efficient office and commercial environments. With the United States being one of the world’s most influential office furniture markets, Sunon has made the region a strategic focus for its global expansion.

In recent years, Sunon has set up a localized operations team, opened a U.S. subsidiary and showroom in 2021, and launched its first overseas manufacturing base in Mexico in 2024 to better serve the North American market. Looking ahead, the company’s Irvine showroom renovation, Chicago flagship showroom grand opening, and Dallas warehouse launch in 2025 will further strengthen its footprint in the U.S.

The “Brand of the Year” award not only recognizes Sunon’s global brand and localized service strategy but also affirms its efforts in driving cross-border collaboration and community engagement. Moving forward, Sunon remains committed to open cooperation and mutual benefit, continuing its journey to become a trusted office ecosystem service provider for global users while contributing to the sustainable development of Sino-US trade relations.
