Cheang Park Chew, of Shanghai, China was a friend and business associate of James B. Duke and James A. Thomas. In 1895, Cheang Park Chew engaged in business transactions with James B. Duke. In 1907, Chew traveled to the United States to meet with Duke and the two became friends. They worked together in successful mercantile pursuits in China.
