The Stanford Daily quoted Shao as saying “I had set up the company’s policy not to bribe any government officials in China. I wasn’t interested in unethical business practice.”
He then founded China Business Ventures (CBV), a company that exported American medical equipment to China.
By 1997, the CBV had offices in San Francisco and Shanghai.
In 1997, Shao, previously a United States. permanent resident, became a naturalized United States. citizen. In spite of his new nationality, Shao was detained in Shanghai in April 1998 and held incommunicado for 26 months, a violation of the guarantees to consular access provided by the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations.

Evidence that would have exonerated him, said his friends, was never allowed in court, and Chinese officials stonewalled attempts to appeal.

Shao"s case received a great deal of attention, partially due to the efforts of some of his fellow business school alumni, who initiated letter-writing campaigns and tried to raise public awareness.

Shao returned to the United States in early May 2013.
