Today, actor Jet Li accompanied by members of the China World Champion Wushu Team, Chinese Wushu Association and International Wushu Federation, visited the New York Stock Exchange and toured the trading floor. The World Wushu Champions are in New York for a performance at the United Nations. To mark this occasion, Jet Li, joined by Mr. Qinglong He , Vice President of the Chinese Wushu Association and Mr. Yuping Zhang, Chief of the International Wushu Federation Secretariat and CWA Foreign Affairs Department, along with several Wushu Champions, rang the NYSE Closing Bell. Jet Li and the Wushu teams are actively trying to get wushu as an Olympic sport.

We might see more Asian personalities ringing the bell in the future as the U.S. drowns in debt and the European crisis is about to torpedo their economies.
