Aris Xie (Partner, D’Andrea & Partners) – compliance & dispute prevention
Devin Li (Deputy GM, PHC Advisory) – tax & financial structuring

Bridging continents through expertise, passion and vision.

Huge congratulations to our Managing Partner, Mr. Carlo D’Andrea, on receiving the prestigious International Dean Martin Award, presented by the Dean Martin Foundation, with the support of CRAM – the Regional Council of Abruzzesi in the World. The Award celebrates distinguished personalities of Abruzzo origin who have contributed to promoting Abruzzo, its excellence and its values internationally.

For more than two decades, Mr. D’Andrea has worked to strengthen economic, institutional and cultural ties between China, Italy, Europe and emerging economies—supporting European companies in their international expansion, helping businesses from Abruzzo access new global markets, and fostering investment and cooperation between China, Italy and Abruzzo.

His commitment to his homeland has also led him to co-found the Abruzzesi di Cina Association and to promote initiatives such as the Corradino D’Ascanio Innovation Award, dedicated to the world-renowned Abruzzo engineer and inventor whose extraordinary ingenuity contributed to the creation of the Vespa and the development of the modern helicopter. The initiative carries forward that same pioneering spirit by creating new connections between Chinese and Italian entrepreneurs, institutions and innovators.

This recognition celebrates a journey built on international cooperation, while remaining deeply connected to one’s roots. More importantly, it is a new source of motivation to continue building bridges between mature and emerging economies, creating opportunities for businesses and institutions, and bringing Abruzzo’s talent, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit to the world.

From Abruzzo to China, from China to Europe and emerging economies — always building bridges, and always with Abruzzo at heart. 🇮🇹🇨🇳🇪🇺🌍

The Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) traces its origins to 1976, when the Government of India enacted legislation to regulate the acceptance and utilisation of foreign contributions—including donations, grants, gifts, and transfers—as well as foreign hospitality by certain individuals, associations, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and companies. The primary objective of the legislation was to ensure that foreign contributions did not adversely affect India's sovereignty, democratic institutions, or public interest.
