According to the Chamber of Commerce, its first report, “Faces of Chinese Investment in the United States” aimed to promote greater Chinese investment in the U.S. and to help demystify the U.S. investment climate for Chinese business leaders interested in investing in the American Market.”
The Chamber goes on to say its report, “China’s Approval Process for Inbound Direct Foreign Investment”, “We hope this second report will help to inform stakeholders in both countries about the challenges that exist for U.S. and foreign firms investing in China.” The Chamber goes on to say, “We also hope it will stimulate discussion regarding solutions that could reduce barriers to investment in a manner that contributes to China’s development and economic rebalancing objectives.”
Both reports contain detailed, useful and practical information that makes them both well worth the download and read. Check them out.
