An Introduction to the US-China Business Council:

The United States-China Business Council, Inc. (USCBC) is a private, non-profit, non-partisan, member-supported organization. It is the principal organization of US corporations engaged in business relations with the People's Republic of China. Founded in 1973 as the National Council for US-China Trade, USCBC originally served the early efforts of US business in China in the absence of formal diplomatic relations between the two nations. With the massive growth of US-China economic engagement since the end of the 1970s, USCBC has continued to assist firms entering the field for the first time, but increasingly the bulk of its work has served the interests and needs of US firms with well-established commercial relationships in China. Headquartered in Washington, DC, USCBC also serves its corporate members from field offices in Beijing and Shanghai.

USCBC provides extensive, tailored Business Advisory Services on a wide range of business interests and concerns to individual member companies. Its meetings and programs, in the United States, China, and Hong Kong, provide both broad-gauge and highly business-relevant information, and offer companies the chance to share ideas and experiences as well.

USCBC continues to play a central role in analysis and advocacy of key policy issues of significance not only to US businesses but also to the future of US-China relations. The Council's activities in support of government policies conducive to expanded US-China commercial and economic ties include educational meetings with Members of Congress and Congressional staff, and frequent testimony on behalf of the US business community in Congressional or other venues. USCBC also works to enhance media and public understanding of complex issues in US-China relations, appearing frequently on major broadcasts and providing accurate statistical and analytical information to media representatives.

The Council's numerous publications include the leading US periodical on China trade, the China Business Review, the members' weekly electronic newsletter, China Market Intelligence, two websites, www.uschina.org and www.chinabusinessreview.com, and numerous focused studies on topics of current business interest.

USCBC serves as a valued and economical complement to the intensive in-house efforts that US companies devote to business development in China. Council membership in 2006 currently stands at about 250 firms, and continues to strengthen in response both to China's economic growth and to the many challenges and complexities US firms face in the Chinese environment. Among the Council's members are many of the largest and best known US corporations, but smaller companies and service firms make up a substantial portion of the overall membership as well.

The Council is governed by a Board of Directors composed of distinguished corporate leaders. USCBC's current chair is W. James McNerney, Jr., chairman, president and CEO of the Boeing Company. Since November 1, 2004, USCBC's president has been John Frisbie.

USCBC has long served as a respected host for senior visitors from China and from the US government. In recent years, the Council has been honored to receive His Excellency President Hu Jintao; Premier Wen Jiabao; former President Jiang Zemin; former Premier Zhu Rongji; and other distinguished Chinese guests from central and provincial government entities. Recent American public figures to meet with USCBC members have included Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez; former US Trade Representative Robert B. Zoellick; US Ambassador to China Clark "Sandy" Randt; key figures from the US Congress; and numerous specialists on US-China affairs from various agencies of the Executive Branch of government.
