After the San Francisco Summit between the leaders of the two countries last year, China-Us relations have stabilized and stopped falling, and economic and trade exchanges between the two countries have remained stable despite their complexity and uncertainties. In this process, the enterprises of the two countries have played an important facilitating role. Under the new circumstances, what are the opportunities and challenges for enterprises of the two countries in economic and trade relations? How to further improve the business environment for enterprises of the two countries? How can they initiate and strengthen commercial cooperation in third countries? All these are issues of concern to the business communities of the two countries. To this end, within the framework of the CIIE 2024 Forum, we held a seminar on "The Role of Chinese and US Enterprises in Promoting Bilateral Economic and Trade Relations" on November 4 to discuss the above issues. The conference is organized by SDRF, the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, the US-China Business Council, the Shanghai Aijian Special Foundation, and Caixin Media. The support unit is HONOR.
