For almost 30 years, AmCham China has been conducting the China Business Climate Survey (BCS) to reflect on the business performance and outlook of member companies in China. The BCS report serves as an important reference for understanding the overall sentiment of the American business community in China. It offers valuable insights into critical topics for both Chinese and US policymakers, as well as foreign enterprises looking to invest in and operate within China.

This year’s BCS was conducted between October 22 and November 20, 2025. The 2026 BCS Report has been compiled from the responses of over 360 companies across 20+ different industries and covers a range of topics, including financial performance, business outlook, business environment, views on US-China relations, and more.

American companies operating in China demonstrated resilience and improving financial performance in 2025, even as they navigated a complex global economic environment and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, according to the 28th annual China Business Climate Survey (BCS) Report released by the American Chamber of Commerce in China (“AmCham China”).

All AmCham China card-holding members will receive an email that contains a link to the digital version of the report.
