Featured Event
The China Business Conference is the premier forum for exchanging ideas on U.S.-China economic and commercial relations, including economic, political, and regulatory developments affecting American business in China. The annual event brings together business leaders, public officials, and policy experts to discuss critical issues in the relationship and shape the bilateral policy agenda. A stellar line up of speakers will bring expertise and perspectives from across the business, government, industry, and think tank communities on critical issues such as how to tackle China's unfair trading practices and use of economic coercion, and how to protect U.S. national security and values while continuing to do business with the world's second largest economy in areas that are beneficial to American companies, workers, farmers and our broader economy.
Looking back
The 2023 conference opened with a welcome reception on the evening of May 8, followed by substantive panels over two days on May 9 and 10 covering the full suite of issues weighing on bilateral relations. In light of persistent global economic challenges, growing calls for U.S.-China decoupling, and challenging politics in both countries, the content of the 2023 conference was rich, and participation was exceptionally robust.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Chamber of Commerce welcomed news today of a Phase I trade agreement between the U.S. and China but urged the two sides to reach a comprehensive agreement in six months.
By: Myron Brilliant All eyes will be on President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping when they meet this week at the G20 summit in Japan. The stakes couldn't be higher. This summit offers an important chance to stave off a prolonged trade war between the world's two largest economies, one that would throw the entire global economy into a tailspin.

And the biggest mistake our leaders could make right now — putting our economy at greater risk of a downturn — is to stoke further uncertainty.
