China General Chamber of Commerce - USA (CGCC; Chinese: 美国中国总商会; pinyin: Měiguó zhōngguó zǒng shānghuì) is a U.S.-based chamber of commerce focused on the U.S. and Chinese business communities.[1][2] It was founded in 2005 and regularly engages with political and business leaders in the U.S. and China.[3]
CGCC, along with 600 other prominent U.S. organizations, including the Committee of 100 (C100), were described by a Newsweek article as part of the Chinese Communist Party's united front system of influence.[4] CGCC denied any linkage.[4]
Programs
[edit]CGCC hosts and co-hosts programs and event series that aim to provide a platform for U.S. and Chinese business leaders, state governors, corporate executives, policy makers and other stakeholders to exchange viewpoints on substantial issues in U.S.-China economic relations.[5]
Past programs also include the U.S. - China Governors Collaboration Summit, co-hosted with the National Governors Association (NGA), International Finance and Cooperation Forum, co-hosted with Bloomberg L.P., and the HSBC China Forum, co-hosted with HSBC.[citation needed]
In addition to seminars, forums and networking events for member companies,[6] CGCC also offers research and information on Chinese investment in America through its flagship publication of its Annual Business Survey Report on Chinese Enterprises in the U.S.[7][8] and maintenance of its U.S.- China Investment & Cooperation Database.[9]
