MARKET OF THE MONTH: CHINA

U.S.-China International Partner Network Signing

China’s transition from central planning to market-based regulatory principles offers significant improvements in market access for many American exporters. While challenges continue to exist, the U.S.-China American Trading Center initiative aims to foster new relationships between U.S. and Chinese companies, particularly small and medium-size, through a partnership with the China Council for Promotion of International Trade. In addition to services offered by U.S. Commercial Service offices located in four U.S. Consulates and the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, this cooperative network offers U.S. exporters assistance to break into fourteen untapped, yet robust economies.

Updated profiles of the 14 key Chinese business centers now available. Request the City Profiles below.
