ABOUT
Established in 2009 and approved by the U.S. government, the China-US Business Summit is a non-profit organization initiated by entrepreneurs from both China and the United States, with the support of Chinese embassies and consulates in the U.S. It serves as a comprehensive civilian platform dedicated to integrating resources between China and the U.S., promoting outstanding corporate cultures of both nations, and providing full-service support for the international operations of Chinese and American enterprises.
With a 16-year history, the Summit has successfully held 14 editions and high-level events in multiple first-tier cities across both countries, including Washington D.C., New York, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Las Vegas, Hawaii, and San Diego in the United States.
The Summit has received high recognition from the U.S. government, including congratulatory letters from former President Barack Obama’s family and the U.S. Secretary of State. Additionally, U.S. Congress members have attended and delivered speeches at the opening ceremonies of past Summits. Meanwhile, the Summit (and its branches) has co-organized large-scale themed events with provincial and municipal governments in China, such as the 2017 and 2024 China Lanzhou Investment and Trade Fair · Sub-Forum, the 2016 First China-US New Era Economic Forum (Xiamen, China), and the 2019 China-US Business Summit · Investment Cooperation and Film & TV Culture Forum (Xiamen). These initiatives have been acknowledged and endorsed by the Chinese government.
As a permanent institution, the China-US Business Summit maintains offices in Los Angeles, USA, and Beijing, China. Upholding the service philosophy of “The Summit Never Ends, Services Run Daily,” it focuses on high-level forums, project launches, and meetings with government officials. It also carries out practical and diverse business activities, including legal consultations, policy briefings, specialized inspections, project matching, and market research. To address the practical needs of its entrepreneur club members, the Summit invites American experts to host various professional seminars (on average, once a month) either in China or online. Topics covered include project investment, visas, study abroad, immigration, establishing businesses in the U.S., mergers and acquisitions, international asset allocation, tax avoidance, tax credits, benefits, film and TV themes, and project financing in the U.S. Additionally, the Summit organizes visits to outstanding enterprises, in-depth inspections, exchanges, dinners among corporate members, and networking events between Chinese and American business and government circles. Over the past 16 years, the Summit has experienced rapid development and achieved remarkable results. It has established branches in Shanghai, Xiamen, Chengdu, Northwest China, and Jilin. With over 3,400 member enterprises from both China and the U.S., most of them are distinctive, influential, and have promising development prospects in their respective industries. The Summit has facilitated nearly a thousand Chinese entrepreneurs to invest and collaborate in the U.S., bringing over $400 million in investments to the United States. It has also guided hundreds of American entrepreneurs to engage in economic and trade exchanges in China. Thousands of entrepreneurs from 23 Chinese provinces and municipalities and 16 U.S. states have participated in on-site exchanges during the Summit. Among the Chinese members, there are several main-board listed companies and dozens of entrepreneurs with annual revenues exceeding 2 billion RMB. On average, the Summit invites over 350 Chinese entrepreneurs to the United States for cooperation each year and holds an annual high-level conference in the U.S. Over the past four years, it has organized more than 13 high-level forums annually in the United States. To date, over 100 projects between China and the U.S. are in the process of matching. The Summit’s WeChat public account, launched 11 years ago, has over 60,000 subscribers, most of whom are corporate leaders. The China-US Business Summit has been acclaimed by American media as “the premier platform for grassroots exchanges between Chinese and American entrepreneurs.” Official Website: https://www.chinaussummit.org/en/ Headquarters in Los Angeles, USA Contact: Dante Fu Phone: +1 (626) 810-0820 / +1 (312) 395-0618 Email: dante@chinausbusinesssummit.org Beijing Office, China Contact: Haiyang Zhou Phone: +86-15801312131 Fax: +86 (010) 58930037
