2026 marks the 13th consecutive year that CGCC conducted its annual business survey on Chinese companies in the United States.
Over the past decade, the survey has become an indispensable record of how Chinese enterprises operate, adapt, and contribute across the United States. By combining rigorous data with executive perspectives, it highlights both contributions and challenges, equipping business leaders, policymakers, and communities to make informed and balanced decisions.
The findings from the 2026 survey point to a complex reality. Despite heightened geopolitical tensions, tariff pressures, and a slowing global economy, most Chinese firms in the U.S. have shown resilience and sustained long-term commitment. At the same time, a more cautious and defensive posture has emerged. This dual trend underscores both adaptation and divergence: companies are reinforcing their U.S. presence while preparing for continued uncertainty, yet many still recognize the long-term value of deeper engagement.
