The Asia Trade Mission (ATM), which has been annually held by USPAACC since 2005, paved the way for new business opportunities for its delegates and their China-based partners.

“Our trade mission to the world’s second-largest economy is auspicious as it lays a strong foundation toward business growth for our delegates and their partners in China,” said USPAACC National President & CEO Susan Au Allen. “It goes beyond exploring opportunities for investment, joint ventures, and sourcing potential suppliers. It is also about extending friendship, establishing strategic connections, and promoting American products and services – as USPAACC creates the bridge that effectively connects American businesses to the fast-growing and vibrant markets in the Asia-Pacific region.”

With USPAACC’s Allen, the ATM delegates represented a broad spectrum of corporate and Asian American-owned businesses, including: advertising & marketing; cosmetics; food & beverage/manufacturing; healthcare; international education services; IT; legal services; and logistics/shipping, etc.
