Trump signed a memorandum Monday that directs U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer to determine whether an investigation is needed into alleged unfair Chinese trade practices. The new order focuses specifically on alleged Chinese theft of U.S. intellectual property, and it will have a huge impact on foreign business, especially American companies, operating in China.

Thus, AmCham China would like to call for an urgent meeting of CGAC and Policy Committee to discuss below issues:​

  • Trump administration’s trade actions against China and its impacts on American business in China;
  • AmCham China’s position on this;
  • CGAC and Policy Committee’s priorities in the second half of 2017.
