Wu Yi-A New Hope For The Aspiring Women!

Readers,
Lets get to know the world women leaders and their strong determination. Who knows they may act as guide lines in our lives also? In this post I want to share few things about Wu Yi. Wu Yi, was born in November of 1938, in Wuhan, in the Hubei Province, China. Pursued petroleum engineering degree in 1962.From 1962 to 1998 Wu Yi had held high posts in the ministry. She rose from technician to state councilor. She was a member of Leading Party Members' Group of State Council, 1998-2002; named vice-premier of the State Council and minister of Public Health, 2003. Wu Yi is for women in business.
Wu Yi (pronounced Woo Yee), a longtime public servant in China, has earned the reputation as China's Iron Lady. The name, once was given to Britain's Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, known for her political intelligence. As minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation she negotiated with the United States on such topics as copyright protection, trade, and investment agreements. Her tough yet flexible stance in negotiations has earned her respect inside and outside China. Wu Yi Set her eyes on Tech industry to take sky high, and she did it!
In 1991, she claimed a position in the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. She held the seat of vice-minister for two years before stepping up to the minister role. During that time she was also elected president of the China Association of Foreign-Funded Enterprises. From 1997 to 2002, she also served as an alternate or full member of China's Communist Party (CCP) Central Committee—the ruling elite of China. A short, compact Wu Yi always dresses impeccably; Wu is easy to spot among the men who make up the majority of high-level positions. Her personality has been enhanced by her gray hair; it gives a matured look on her face. In 2003, a deadly virus was spreading through Asia and the world. Known as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), the World Health Organization indicated that China was an area that was highly affected. Unfortunately, the acting health minister refused to acknowledge that China was suffering from the outbreak. Wu, who was also holding the position of Vice Premier, replaced him. She approached the situation in her usually forthright and honest manner. Her direct and blunt methods left remote chances for others to deceive. Wu Yi maintained a protocol that she means business! Wu Yi' s name can be taken in women in business world.

Sometimes I wonder dedication and determination can take woman so high! The what are we waiting for…..?
