The US Commerce Department announced yesterday the opening of the China Business Information Centre, American Trade Centres and the Global Supply Chain Initiative as part of new tool to help exporters access the fastest growing China market.
US statistics revealed that the country’s exports to China were up 36 per cent in the first half of the year, making China one of the fastest-growing US export destinations and the sixth-largest US export market overall. Some 86 per cent of all US firms exporting to China are SMEs.
The China Business Information Centre is the first comprehensive US federal government resource aimed at assisting the US businesses to take advantage of China''s rapid integration into the global economy.
The centre consists of an 800 telephone number that the public can use to speak with a China specialist, a website with China-focused information and export tools, and a series of foreign-oriented events planned throughout the United States.
American Trade Centres are designed to increase the US Commerce Department''s ability to help US companies tap export markets in second-tier but very large commercial centres in China.
The Global Supply Chain Initiative aims to help US small businesses identify global supply chains that will take US manufactured goods to China. |
