The third-richest person in the NPC(China’s National People’s Congress), auto-parts magnate Lu Guanqiu(the big boss of WanXiang), traveled with Vice President Xi Jinping to the U.S. during his official visit this month, attending a meeting with Vice President Joseph Biden and Treasury Secretary Timothy F.
