AmCham-China 2005-2006 Chairman Emory Williams and President Michael Barbalas led a team of 24 chamber members and employees on a four-day fact-finding tour of Shaanxi late last month. The delegation visited the cities of Xi’an, Baoji and Xianyang as well as Yangling agricultural district, toured state-owned, foreign-invested and private companies, and met with municipal and provincial officials, including Shaanxi Governor Yuan Chunqing. The trip wrapped up a busy year of regional visits that saw chamber members investigate the business and investment environment in Anhui, Henan, Heilongjiang and Tibet. AmCham-China has organized 12 trips covering more than 11 provinces during the past two years. Full details of the Shaanxi trip will appear in AmCham-China’s China Brief magazine.
