 identifying that Chongqing is an important strategic platform for the  
 development of the western China, which has been a unique pioneer in “ opening  
 up” China and important in the national regional development. “The United

Mr. Zhao Zhenge, Chief  
 Representative of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade in

 business opportunities for foreign entrepreneurs including the United States.  
 The China Council for the Promotion of International Trade is ready and willing

Dr. Harley Seyedin, Chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in South China, introduced the  “2021 China Business Environment White Paper” which was recently released by his organization. According to the report, while China's economy, like the rest of the major global economies, faced some challenges in 2020, foreign investors continue to be optimistic about the Chinese market. The vast majority of the Chambers companies indicated that the overall return on investment in China in 2020 was positive, and significantly higher than the overall return on investment globally. Dr. Harley believes that only by deepening mutually beneficial discussions and establishing trade and cooperation relations can we achieve a win-win future for the Sino-US economy.

Sun Jianbo, General Manager of the International Business Department of CCB, emphasized the bank has always and will continue to be  committed to providing professional financial services for Sino-US trade and investment, and promoting mutually beneficial cooperation between companies in both China and US.

The primary objective of our "Virtual Fair" is to provide a platform to facilitate expansion of cross-border investment and trade through virtual display, virtual deal matching and virtual negotiation.

At the end of 2019, in  
 response to the pain points of information asymmetry and high transaction costs  
 in cross-border transaction scenarios, CCB innovatively launched the "CCB  
 Match Plus", which is a cross-border intelligent digital matching platform  
 globally with application of big data, artificial intelligence, cloud computing  
 and other financial technologies. Leveraging CCB Group's advantages in global  
 presence and full licenses, the platform offers comprehensive financial service  
 solutions to its clients globally. In just one year, the number registered  
 users of "CCB Match Plus" platform has reached 60,000, which  
 represent extensive connections with domestic and international business  
 associations, governments, as well as investment and trade promotion agencies.  
 There are more than 1,500 Chongqing enterprises have registered in CCB’s  
 platforms. The platform also has embedded links in Chongqing’s “Single Window  
 for International Trade” to facilitate “one-stop service” to enterprises.

CCB’s responded to the new  
 way to execute business in 2020  by  
 integrating the "digital exhibition" service scenarios to help  
 companies build digital exhibition halls and provide online support such as  
 live broadcast, remote promotion, and video conferences. Since May last year,  
 more than 60 cross-border virtual exhibition have been held for more than 6,000  
 companies across 28 countries and regions, all of which were welcomed by local  
 enterprises, business associations and government agencies. This "Virtual  
 Fair" held on CCB’s virtual platform will contribute to facilitate both  
 Chinese and American companies to further expand the market and business  
 opportunities.

The "Virtual  
 Fair" lasted for two days, and invited more than 70 Chinese and American  
 companies including US Fortune 500 companies and high-end individual customers.  
 The exhibition focused on five major industries including automobile and  
 motorcycle, medical and chemical industry, new energy, financial institutions,  
 and study abroad and tourism, with more than 10 online meetings arranged. The  
 response to the event has been extremely positive as participants expressed  
 their appreciation to CCB and interests in Chongqing’s location and opening  
 advantages, which would help to open up market channels in not only the western  
 region but the entire Chinese economy, and actively seek opportunities in trade  
 import and export, investment promotion, and technical cooperation.
