As a primary pillar in our pursuit of improving the business environment and helping American companies succeed in China, AmCham China’s advocacy efforts address a wide scope of industry needs and extend from the central government to the local municipality levels. AmCham China advocates on behalf of our members’ evolving needs in the ever-changing China business landscape through a host of central and subnational government engagement efforts, large events such as the Annual Appreciation Dinner, and ongoing policy analysis and recommendations.
Policy Priorities
Our policy priorities – Build a Healthy Working Relationship, Ensure a Level Playing Field for FIEs, and Cooperate on Issues of Global Commons – are the culmination of discussions among AmCham China members and supported by data drawn from the annual China Business Climate Survey Report and the American Business in China White Paper.
Business Climate Survey Report
The annual China Business Climate Survey (BCS) Report serves as one of AmCham China’s most important advocacy tools, providing the US and Chinese governments with valuable insights into the performance, views, and experiences of the foreign business community in China. As such, a high response rate is critical for us to continue our strong advocacy efforts.
The Survey covers a wide range of topics, including those related to business operations, the regulatory environment, and the US-China relationship. In addition, there are also components dealing with everything from Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategies in China to cross-border data flows and cyber security. The BCS Report is free to download for members.
American Business in China White Paper
The American Business in China White Paper (White Paper) is one of AmCham China’s signature products and our flagship policy publication. It is driven through our 26 committees in Beijing and four regional offices to provide collective insights on the current business climate in China while setting our official position on the high-priority issues that affect the American business community in China.
The White Paper also serves as a year-on-year assessment of the progress made on policies and regulations and is a key platform for discussion and engagement with the Chinese and US governments.

Outreach
As a bridge between US business in China, the Chinese government, and the US government, AmCham China works between the worlds of policy and commerce on both sides of the US-China relationship to foster a business environment built upon mutual success and understanding. Through our yearly Appreciation Dinner, annual member delegation to Washington, DC, and our numerous, year-round meetings with Chinese government officials and entities, the Chamber’s efforts to strengthen the US-China business landscape have a long history of impact and cooperative success.
