California State Senator Leland Yee came to the San Francisco Go Club on 18 July 2010 to present Jiang with a Certificate of Recognition from the California State Senate in honor of the Ing Chang-ki Goe Foundation and its continued sponsorship of the World Youth Goe Championship. That year's contestants were both students of Jiang and he accompanied them to Penghu for the tournament with Paul Barchilon. Jiang presented the Certificate to Ing Ming Hao and Yang Yu Chia of the Ing Foundation at the opening ceremonies of the tournament.{{cite web|last=Brown|first=Ernest|title=CA STATE SENATE AWARDS CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION TO ING FOUNDATION (via Mingjiu Jiang)|url=http://www.usgo.org/news/2010/07/|publisher=American Go Association|date=26 July 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190716024041/https://www.usgo.org/news/2010/07/ca-state-senate-awards-certificate-of-appreciation-to-ing-foundation/|archive-date=16 July 2019}}
