Wu is the head of the seaborne Wu, a large smuggling fleet. He boasts his fleet will smuggle anything, anywhere. This includes narcotic smuggling. He has Old Friend status with Struan's, indicating that the two families have had a long working relationship and have built up a great deal of trust. Ian Dunross, the current tai-pan of Struan's, continues to cultivate this relationship, though he encourages Wu to avoid narcotics trafficking as being too dangerous.
The seaborne Wu also operate floating houses of prostitution.

At the time of the novel, he is 75 years old.
He is secretly the father of Paul Choy, who is publicly Wu's nephew.
