CHAMBER MESSAGE This report is based on our annual China Business Climate Survey, one of the longest running sur- veys of US business in China that began in 1999. The report reflects the opinions and insights of our member companies based on their experie

35、nces doing business in this important market. We are grateful to our survey partner, PwC, for their support, and to our many members who participated in this years survey and contributed their perspectives. This years survey was conducted between June 16 and July 16, 2020, and included responses fro

36、m 346 companies. Questions were designed to measure trends in company performance, invest- ment, headcount, production and sourcing, domestic competition and the impact of COVID-19. We also delved into members reactions to the regulatory environment and whether they were planning production shifts.

37、As you interpret the surveys results, we encourage you to keep in mind two features of its timing. First, it was circulated five months after the US and China signed the Phase One trade agreement, at a time when broader tensions between the two countries seemed to be accelerating. Second, it was cir

38、culated at a time when the coronavirus pandemic appeared to be under control in China but not yet in the United States. We trust that this years report will, like its predecessors, provide valuable information to business leaders and policymakers as they make plans for the coming year during a time

39、of heightened un- certainty. Ker GibbsJeffrey Lehman INTRODUCTION The year began on an optimistic note with the US and China signing a Phase One trade agreement that included provisions intended to address longstanding American grievances around intellectual property protection and forced technology

40、 transfer, and a commitment by China to purchase an additional $200 bil- lion worth of American goods and services over the next two years. Less than a month later, COVID-19 upended all economic forecasts, impacting company performance across a multitude of sectors, in some cases severely. Fortunate

41、ly, Chinas recovery has been swift, and a third of our members are still projecting better revenues than in 2019. But now a wider chill in US-China relations obscures the outlook and threatens to overturn the goodwill and progress achieved by the Phase One agreement. These conflicting forces mean th

42、at the data in this year s report is mixed. Pessimism about the five-year business outlook was close to last years all-time high, and fewer com- panies are increasing investment compared to last year. Conversely, the number of companies delaying investment because of the tariffs and trade tensions f

43、ell compared to last year. Few companies are off- shoring any part of their production, and even fewer are moving more than 20 percent of their production.
