WASHINGTON, July 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On Monday, June 24^th, 2024, China General Chamber of Commerce-USA and CGCC Foundation launched their 2024 Annual Business Survey Report on Chinese Enterprises in the U.S. 

Held at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington D.C., the launch event gathered over 300 guests from business, government, and non-profit sectors to further promote the sustainable growth of the U.S.-China economic relationship and share experiences of Chinese investment in the U.S.

During the discussion, Abby LI, Director of Corporate Communication and Research at CGCC, shared some of the key findings from the 2024 report, "While we observed that 45% of the companies surveyed reported that they felt a moderately declined environment operating in the U.S., Chinese companies are still committed to the U.S. market in the long term." 

While sharing his experiences helping Chinese companies establish their presence in the U.S., John LING, Founder of LinVest Investment Consulting, emphasized that companies looking to be successful in the U.S. market should be very proactive in their local communities.

Discussions surrounding Chinese investment in the U.S. continued into the second half of the program with a panel discussion titled, "Chinese Corporate Presence and Investment in the U.S.," which was moderated by Shau ZHANG, Partner and Leader of Americas China Overseas Investment (COIN) at Ernst & Young LLP (EY).
