About Us
Founded in September 1993, the United States-China Association of Commerce, Inc. (USCAC) is a major non-governmental group in the Washington, DC area. Different from almost all other social groups, USCAC is exclusively made up of entrepreneurs and professionals. Currently it has more than 600 Chinese and Western members representing over a thousand businesses and entities. Businesses that our members own cover banking, finance, insurance, legal services, news, transportation, medical services, financial management, technical consulting, real estate, engineering and construction, decoration and designing, international trade, IT, aquatic products wholesale, tourism, catering, hotels, laundry, farming, beauty, etc.
After more than two decades of efforts, USCAC has established and maintained regular contacts with the majority of province-and-city-level governments in China. In the meanwhile, many of our members have landed good opportunities for development of their careers in China. In recent years, they have frequently traveled between the United States and China and made investment in many projects and fields. With the increasing development of U.S.-China economic cooperation and the constant rise of the number of Chinese traveling to the U.S., the connection between USCAC and its fellow organizations in the greater Washington area has become steadily closer. In the meantime, we are attracting favor from a growing number of professionals and small-and-medium-sized companies in both countries. Their involvement and participation have added more fresh blood for our further development and growth. Meanwhile, USCAC and his members have played a great role in promoting the Asian American to get involved in American politics and connect to the mainstream American society.
USCAC will continue to carry on its mission, to make every possible effort to help further promote the U.S.-China relations, the development of bilateral economic and trade cooperation, and the friendship between people of the two countries.
Vision & Mission & Goal
The vision of USCAC is to Move Business Forward.
The mission of USCAC is to promote US-China bi-lateral economic and trade cooperation and technological and cultural exchanges, to promote friendship and understanding between the two governments and people on both sides.
USCAC has extensive ties with the United States government departments and private enterprises. These ties have been widely acknowledged. The Overseas Chinese Affairs Office under the State Council of China and its Department of Foreign Affairs have confirmed that USCAC is qualified to receive high-level delegations visiting the U.S. from China.
Since its founding in 1993, USCAC has received several thousand Chinese delegations visiting the U.S. for business or training purposes. Headed by leading figures from all levels, these delegations represented numerous provinces and municipalities as well as various departments and committees under the State Council. According to their respective needs, USCAC made arrangements for them to meet and talk with U.S. political figures and entrepreneurs. As a result, their visits, exchanges and business talks achieved fruitful results.
