During the occasion in New York, Lu and his associates from CMES met with ASME Executive Director Thomas Loughlin just as individuals from a few ASME offices including Standards Certification, Global Development, Engineering Education and Marketing. ASME staff individuals taking an interest in the gathering included William Berger, overseeing executive, Standards, Standards Certification; John Koehr, overseeing chief, Technology and Personnel Certification, Engineering; Heidi Hijikata, executive, Global Development; Raj Manchanda, business advancement chief, Manufacturing; Elio Manes, chief, Communities and Service, Engineering; Robert Lettieri, administrator, International Relations, Global Development; Aisha Lawrey, executive, Engineering Education, Engineering; Yanyan Han, information and promoting investigator, Marketing; and Matthew Vazquez, director, Conformity Assessment Operations, Standards Certification.

One of the principal significant achievements in the connection between the two social orders occurred in 1986, when ASME and CMES consented to their first arrangement of collaboration, which prompted increasingly dynamic investment by CMES individuals in ASME exercises, especially in ASME meetings. In 2000, ASME and CMES mutually sorted out the International Congress of Mechanical Engineering Societies (ICOMES) and the International Conference on Mechanical Engineering. Later exercises have incorporated a 2015 visit by the ASME Board of Governors to China, during which individuals from the Board met with CMES, the China Academy of Engineering (CAE) and Chinas General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ). A year ago, ASME and CMES coordinated on the Sino-American Technology and Engineering Conference (SATEC) Forum on Innovation and Intelligent Manufacturing, where an appointment of ASME authority including ASME President Keith Roe and Executive Director Tom Loughlin met with Vice Premier Ma Kai.
