The Embassy also held a farewell reception for Ambassador Zhang on Feb. 21. Top members of the diplomatic corps were on hand, as more than 300 people from the business community, think tanks, media and the Chinese community. A new ambassador from China is expected to arrive in Washington sometime in late March or early April.
