American Chamber China

Policy Committee

The Policy Committee brings together policy experts from a wide variety of sectors in AmCham China’s membership for regular meetings, expert presentations, roundtables and panel discussions on the current policy environment for American businesses in China. The activities of the committee aid in identifying cross-cutting issues of importance to all AmCham China members and help determine how best to advocate on behalf of members’ interests. In addition to regular meetings, the committee helps establish AmCham China’s annual Advocacy Priorities (http://www.amchamchina.org/priorities), and plays an instrumental role in the development of the annual American Business in China White Paper (http://www.amchamchina.org/whitepaper).

In recent months, PPDC has hosted a variety of events, including a panel discussion on social media’s impact on reform, a Policy Workshop to solicit member input on advocacy priorities, and a presentation on the potential for SEC delisting of Chinese firms due to incompatible accounting practices.
