中国成纳斯达克第一大海外市场 开市钟迎蛇年春节

2月7日早晨，中国驻纽约总领事孙国祥在纽约曼哈顿为纽约纳斯达克证券交易所敲响了开市钟，庆祝中国农历春节的到来。

New York (CNS) – The Chinese consul-general in New York visited the NASDAQ Market Site on Thursday morning and rang the Opening Bell in celebration of Chinese New Year.

Consul General Sun Guoxiang said he was happy to offer New Year wishes to China and the United States. "The NASDAQ has a high reputation in China not only for its influence in finance and economics, but also for its contribution to Sino-US communication," he added.

There are 126 Chinese companies listed on the NASDAQ and we expect closer cooperation in the coming year, said David Wicks, vice president of the NASDAQ OMX Group.

China's consulate in New York has held the NASDAQ bell-ringing ceremony since 2010.
