With help from François Mitterrand’s wife, Wu studied at the University of Savoie in Chambéry in the French Alps before going to America to earn a bachelor’s degree in business at Culver-Stockton College in Canton, Missouri and a master’s degree in international relations at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri.
