Cook County Treasurer Hosts U.S.-China Friendship Day Event in Chicago
The Cook County Treasurer is hosting a U.S.–China Friendship Day event on September 30, 2026, at Daley Plaza in downtown Chicago. The celebration includes a flag raising and reception to honor the Chinese American community's contributions and foster cultural exchange between the two nations. Organized by the Greater Chicago Chinese Association of Overseas Chinese and Chinese Americans, the event coincides with China’s National Day on October 1 and marks significant anniversaries for both countries—the U.S.’s 250th year and China’s 77th as a republic. The gathering emphasizes themes such as strengthening friendship, promoting exchange, fostering community integration, and working toward the future together. The event also recognizes local leaders in Chicago's Chinese American community with Certificates of Excellence for their contributions to cultural and economic ties.
