In late August of last year AmCham-China members met with a US International Trade Commission (ITC) delegation visiting China.  The group was in Beijing gathering information from business leaders for use in a report about China’s economic policy. AmCham members offered insights about the current business climate and shared their assessments of Chinese policies governing innovation and R&D, as well as their analysis of the current state of standards development  in various industry sectors.

The the first report generated by the ITC delegation, “China: Description of selected Government Practices and Policies Affecting Decision- Making in the Economy”  is now available as a pdf. This exhaustive document, delivered to the US House and Ways Committee, examines industrial development, rationalization and privatization in the state and non-state sectors and in domestic and foreign invested enterprises. It also provides information about banking and finance, infrastructure development, price coordination, utility rates and taxation.
