On September 20, the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce – U.S.A. (CGCC) Washington, DC chapter and the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai (AmCham Shanghai) co-hosted a reception in Washington, DC in honor of AmCham Shanghai's 2016 Washington DC Doorknock. This was the first collaboration between AmCham Shanghai and CGCC.
Mr. Gibbs noted, "As the first joint AmCham Shanghai - Chinese General Chamber of Commerce activity, we can all be proud of the steps we are taking to bring the business communities from both sides of the Pacific Ocean together. This can only help strengthen US-China relations."
Mr. Zhao, who just recently arrived in Washington, DC to assume his new role as General Representative in the United States for CCPIT, also praised the collaboration between the two business organizations: "This evening’s reception is an excellent opportunity for leaders from the two business communities to make new connections, identify business opportunities and deepen their cooperation."
AmCham Shanghai's annual Doorknock provides American companies based in China the opportunity to meet with leading policymakers in the Obama Administration, on Capitol Hill, and in think tank and academic circles to discuss the business climate in China for U.S. companies.
