It conducts programs with Chinese and U.S. government, corporate, and association stakeholders on the important role of American business in China's efforts to build an innovative economy.
The China program works to build a platform to facilitate sustained dialogue and information sharing between U.S. and Chinese stakeholders in the area of corporate citizenship.

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.
