Rural revitalization and digital economy are the focus areas of the AmCham China's Social Impact Initiative. Under digital economic models, new forms of business such as rural e-commerce have boosted farmers' consumption and stimulated vitality of rural markets in China, bringing new impetus to rural industrial development. According to the No. 1 Central Document for 2024, China will promote the high-quality development of rural e-commerce and serve its new development paradigm. In March, nine ministries including the Ministry of Commerce and the Central Cyberspace Administration jointly issued the Opinions on Promoting the High-Quality Development of Rural E-Commerce, emphasizing the acceleration of integrating county-level rural e-commerce and logistics distribution systems, guiding the coordinated development of rural e-commerce with rural industries. Our seminar will explore how multinational corporations can support the upgrading of China's rural industries with a focus on the development of rural e-commerce. AmCham China will invite key stakeholders from the China E-commerce Rural Revitalization Alliance (China Siyuan Foundation), China Foundation For Rural Development, Chongho Rural Development Promotion Center and representatives from leading Chinese companies to the seminar and share their views for further discussion.

乡村振兴和数字经济是中国美国商会社会影响力计划重点关注领域。通过数字经济模式，乡村电商等新业态丰富了农民生活消费，激活了农村大市场，为农村产业发展注入了新的活力。2024年中央一号文件提出，推动农村电商高质量发展，服务构建新发展格局。3月，商务部和网信办等9部门发布《关于推动农村电商高质量发展的实施意见》，强调加快贯通县乡村电子商务和快递物流配送体系，引导农村电商与乡村特色产业协同发展，助力推进乡村全面振兴。本次社会影响力计划研讨会将探讨外资企业如何有效参与助力中国的乡村产业升级，并以乡村电商发展为抓手，与中国相关机构与企业交流学习相关经验和发展方向。中国美国商会将邀请来自中华思源工程基金会-中国电商乡村振兴联盟、中国乡村发展基金会、中和乡村发展促进中心等机构嘉宾，聚焦"农村电商与乡村产业升级"主题，举办研讨会并进行项目经验分享。

Social Impact Initiative:

AmCham China launched the Social Impact Initiative in July 2020, aiming to establish a collaborative platform including stakeholders such as government bodies, domestic and foreign enterprises, international organizations, think tanks, and so on. By organizing thematic seminars, summits, and producing reports, the program shares best practices to inspire corporate social responsibility, encouraging multinational enterprises to play a more proactive role in China's social and economic development. Upholding the principles of sharing, contributing, cooperating, and win-win outcomes, the Social Impact Initiative will continue to focus on three areas in 2024: rural revitalization, the digital economy, and sustainable development. We welcome member companies, government agencies, NGOs, academic institutions, and industry associations to join us on our journey of social impact.
