The U.S. and China share the most important bilateral relationship in the world today, and businesses have acted as essential bridges between both countries for decades. Despite the challenges that have tested this relation- ship in recent years, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce continues to champion the benefits of U.S. -China commercial and economic exchange, which continues to serve the interests of both countries and the world.
We aim to promote strong and enduring ties by expanding two-way trade and investment, promoting cooperation, and supporting growth. We do so not only at the national level, but also crucially at the sub-national level through conferences like the 2019 Horasis China Meeting.
Together with our partners the Las Vegas Sands Corporation and the China Federation of Industrial Economics, we are proud to provide a critical platform for engagement between business leaders from the U.S., China, and the rest of the world.
