Last week, AmCham China President Michael Hart joined AmCham Shanghai’s delegation for their annual DC Doorknock in the US capital. The visit provided an important opportunity to share perspectives from US companies operating in China directly with US policymakers, agencies, and thought leaders at a critical moment for the bilateral commercial relationship.
