American Trading Center Program
China is buying, building and upgrading. American companies can compete for many projects that receive substantial funding from China’s central government and multilateral financial institutions. With the middle class exploding and economic growth leading the world, China’s demand for consumer products and services spans all industries and reaches into more than 260 cities with over one million people.

About ATCs
American Trading Centers can help you contact and set up appointments with Chinese organizations across China. Through a partnership between the U.S. Commercial Service and the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), ATCs put a network of China trade experts at your fingertips.
ATCs give you the support and expertise of the U.S. Embassy’s contacts as well as that of over 100 Export Assistance Centers throughout the United States.
