Slower growth, the Chinese market continues to

Enterprises provide important opportunities, nearly half of the surveyed enterprises' operating income has achieved two digit growth compared to the same period last year.

Although the growth rate is lower than in previous years, the growth rate is still gratifying compared with other markets in the world.

In addition, the report pointed out that China's environmental pollution problem has begun to affect the retention of talent, 40% of the surveyed enterprises pointed out that it is difficult to retain foreign staff because of air pollution problems, and pollution also increased the number of foreign workers and local staff who had sick leave.

USCBC has been investigating China's business environment for many years. Half of its business headquarters are located in China and half in the United States.

Among them, 85% of the surveyed enterprises have been in the Chinese market for more than 10 years.

In October 8, 2014, the AAM sent a letter to the US Treasury, requesting the Treasury to include China and Japan as a currency manipulator in the semi annual report submitted to Parliament in October 15th on international economic policy and exchange rate policy issues.

In a report submitted to the US Congress in April, the US Treasury did not classify China as a currency manipulator.

Scott Paul, chairman of the US manufacturing alliance, said in a letter that the US Treasury had previously sought dialogue with its trading partners, but it had achieved little effect for thousands of US manufacturing workers, but the situation has been worse in the past 6 months: the US dollar to the RMB exchange rate dropped by 1.63 percentage points this week, lower than the January 2014 high water line; in August 2014, the US trade deficit with China reached 10 billion US dollars, higher than that of the same period last year; in addition to China, the yen to the US dollar exchange rate dropped 30% in the past 18 months in the year of January 2014.

Scott Paul said the move made the United States lose its economic vitality and employment. Over the past 3 years, the growth rate of manufacturing employment in the United States has been declining, and only 88000 new jobs have been created in 2013.
