CGCC Supported South China Morning Post’s “China Conference: USA”

written by CGCC December 11, 2019

South China Morning Post’s China Conference: USA Held in New York in Partnership with CGCC

NEW YORK – On December 10th, 2019, China General Chamber of Commerce – USA (CGCC) partnered with the South China Morning Post (SCMP) to host, “China Conference: USA”  at The Altman Building, in Manhattan. With the theme “Competition or Cooperation?,” the conference brought together over 300 experts and leaders from the U.S. and China “to learn about and discuss how the global economic, social and technological landscape will evolve during this time of immense competition and conflict between the two superpowers.”

More than 40 representatives from CGCC member companies attended the all-day conference, which included a total of 6 panel discussions on topics such as technology, cultural exchange, and business. Xiao Yuqiang, CGCC Vice Chairman and Chairman of the U.S. Management Committee of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), and Stella Li, CGCC Board Director and President of BYD Motors, were among the participants in one of the conference’s panels.

The conference opened with welcoming remarks from Gary Liu, CEO of the South China Morning Post.

Mr. Liu’s remarks were followed by a keynote presentation by Dr. Chen Deming, Former Minister of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China and President of the China Association of Enterprise with Foreign Investment (CAEFI). Regarding the current U.S.-China trade friction, Dr. Chen pointed out that “Whoever insists on decoupling will fall behind and even be phased out in the advancement of science and technology.” Dr. Chen believes that it is still possible for China and the U.S. to reach a “phase-one” trade agreement as originally announced by President Trump on October 11.

In the panel discussion titled, “Trillion-dollar question: Are U.S. business ties with China sustainable?,” Xiao Yuqiang, CGCC Vice Chairman and Chairman of the U.S. Management Committee of ICBC, and Stella Li, CGCC Board Director and President of BYD Motors, shared their companies’ own experiences of operating under the current U.S.-China trade environment.

“Trillion-dollar question: Are US business ties with China sustainable?” panel discussion was moderated by Robert Delaney, U.S. Bureau Chief of the South China Morning Post. Panelists  included Xiao Yuqiang, CGCC Vice Chairman and Chairman of the U.S. Management Committee of ICBC; Stella Li, CGCC Board Director and President of BYD Motors; and Craig Allen, President of the US-China Business Council (Photo courtesy of South China Morning Post)

When asked about the recent congressional spending bill to ban BYD from the U.S. public bus market, Ms. Li pointed out that the ban would hurt both countries, and both sides should work together to find a solution. Ms. Li emphasized on the panel that BYD is trying to build environmentally-friendly vehicles that are good for the whole planet, not to mention the millions of dollars BYD has invested to train local workers and increase employment opportunities.  

“Tech-tonic shifts: The race for 5G and technological supremacy” panel discussion (Photo courtesy of the South China Morning Post)

Among the conference’s other panel discussions included, “Tech-tonic shifts: The race for 5G and technological supremacy.” Moderated by Chua Kong-ho, Technology Editor at the South China Morning Post, the panel featured Donald Morrissey, Director of Congressional, State, and Local Government Affairs at Huawei Technologies (USA); Dr. Robert Atkinson, Founder & President at Information Technology and Innovation Foundation; and Naomi Wilson, Senior Director of Policy – Asia, at the Information Technology Industry Council.

“Bi-polar: Can opposing ideologies coexist?” panel discussion (Photo courtesy of the South China Morning Post)

During a panel discussion titled, “Bi-polar: Can opposing ideologies coexist?,” panelists discussed the U.S.- China diplomatic relationship and the different ideologies at play.   Moderated by Chow Chung Yan, Executive Editor of the South China Morning Post, panelists included Dr. Huiyao Wang, Founder & President of the Center for China and Globalization (CCG) and a Counselor of China State Council; Daniel Russel, Vice President for International Security and Diplomacy at the Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI); Professor Ann Lee, Author of “What the US Can Learn from China” and “Will China’s Economy Collapse?”; and Grace Chen, Chief Strategy Officer – China for Live Nation.  

 “Best Buys: How is the trade war impacting global investment?” panel discussion (Photo courtesy of the South China Morning Post)

The conference also included a presentation by Wendy Cutler, Former Acting Deputy U.S. Trade Representative and Vice President of the Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI) titled, “Best Buys: How is the trade war impacting global investment?”. During the presentation, Ms. Cutler expressed that she believes the Phase 1 trade deal between the U.S. and China is likely to be missed, but she is optimistic that the two countries will eventually reach an agreement. 

The panel discussion following Ms. Cutler’s presentation was moderated by Jodi Xu Klein, Deputy Bureau Chief of North America at the South China Morning Post. In addition to Ms. Cutler, other panelists included, Victor Gao, Chairman of the China Energy Security Institute and Vice President of the Center for China and Globalization; Ambassador Terry Miller, Mark A. Kolokotrones Fellow in Economic Freedom and Director of the Center for International Trade and Economics at The Heritage Foundation; and Michael Ryan, Chief Investment Officer Americas for UBS Global Wealth Management.

CGCC sincerely thanks the South China Morning Post, the conference’s speakers, and CGCC members for their support of this event. CGCC will continue to bring inspiring and in-depth discussions and conversations to its members.
