Throughout the year, AmCham China releases a wide variety of publications, reports, and surveys aimed at providing actionable insights into the state of foreign business in China, as well as providing advocacy messaging on behalf of AmCham China member companies to both the China and US governments.
American Business in China White Paper
The White Paper is a member-led document drafted annually that provides a comprehensive analysis of the operating environment for foreign-invested enterprises in China. The White Paper is typically released in April and focuses on developments in the preceding year. The White Paper provides the foundation for AmCham China’s policy positions and is our primary technical reference document that helps to shape our engagement with the China and US governments and other stakeholders throughout the year.
Business Climate Survey
The China Business Climate Survey Report (BCS) is one of AmCham China’s most important advocacy tools. It provides valuable insights to the Chinese and US governments about member companies’ concerns with respect to China’s regulatory and policy environment as well as the daily business challenges they face operating in China. Furthermore, the survey provides a useful tool for our members to measure their operations and compare business outlooks and strategies with the broader community.
Business Climate Survey Industry Reports
To paint a more full picture of the American business community in China, we delve even further into the BCS Report data to create tailored industry-focused reports. These reports breakdown the profound results of the BCS by individual industry and sector to build an even more comprehensive view of our local business landscape and the issues members of different industries are facing.
