There is real money to be made exporting to China. In 2006, China bought $55 billion worth of American-made goods. U.S. export sales to China are growing at double-digit rates because as China seeks advanced technical know-how, systems, and processes, and highly regards the "made in America" quality. What’s more, China has $1.2 trillion in foreign currency reserves to pay for whatever it wants to buy from foreign suppliers. However, there are serious obstacles to prospering as an exporter to China. This conference will address what your business should know to be a successful American exporter to China.
