Description
Summary:After spending the past eight years in the Washington, DC, office of the US-China Business Council (USCBC), the author recently relocated to Shanghai to become the new chief representative of USCBC's Shanghai office. What immediately struck her upon arrival is the quest among US companies in Shanghai for information about the direction of PRC government policies, at the central or local levels. Economic data sometimes just contribute to US investors' confusion. The reality is complex, and USCBC staff have spoken with a variety of companies across sectors to try to understand how China's response to and recovery from the global economic crisis affect foreign investors.
