Anna Chennault Engaged as Economic Consultant to Gansu

Anna Chan Chennault, wife of Claire Chennault, a late American general who led the "flying tigers" in China during World War II, has been invited by the Provincial Government of Gansu, a lacklustered economy in northwest China, to be its economic consultant.

She officially accepted the commission at the 2001 Lanzhou Investment and Trade Fair which opened Sunday in this provincial capital of Gansu.

She said that although she is a Chinese American, she always loves her homeland and Chinese compatriots.

The economy in the western region of China has been underdeveloped, she said. It has seldom drawn attention from the international community.

The social activist pledged to make an intensive study of the economic condition of Gansu, and give out specific advices to the local economic development after consulting some American economists.

Anna, born in Beijing in 1925, worked as a war correspondent for the Central News Agency from 1944 to 1948. After being married in Shanghai to Claire Lee Chennault, commander of the US 14th air fleet, she emigrated to the US and became a US citizen in 1950. She is active in America's business and political fields.
