17th Annual U.S.-China Trade Conference

“CAPITALIZING ON THE TRANSITION OF CHINA’S ECONOMY”

Monday, October 24 and Tuesday, October 25

Swissotel Chicago, Chicago

 

This is a reminder that the 17th Annual U.S.-China Trade Conference is about three weeks away.  This comprehensive, highly condensed conference will be held on October 24th and 25th at Swissotel Chicago.  We have assembled over 25 experienced practitioners who will share the lessons that they have learned in the last four decades in conducting U.S.-China business.  Many of these case studies are seldom discussed.  The event will also offer an unmatched opportunity to MEET FACE TO FACE WITH DECISION MAKERS AND INVESTORS in U.S.-China business.  Both “China Hands” and “newcomers” will benefit tremendously from this gathering.  The following is a list of conference speakers:

 

  • The Honorable Hong Lei, Consul General of PRC in Chicago and former spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will comment on new U.S.-China order.

  • Pin Ni, President, Wanxiang America Corporation, one of the largest investors in the U.S. and the largest auto parts company in China will talk about the oppotunities for Chinese investors in the United States.

  • Michael Turansick, Managing Partner, Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP, the world’s largest immigration law firm and Co-Chair of the Conference will address immigration rules and regulations on the global impact on workforce.

  • Stella Su, Principal and China Practice Leader, Plante Moran, PLLC and Co-Chair of the Conference will comment on the new VAT in China on business.

  • Glenn and Danny Spungen, former shareholders of PEER Bearings will tell the insider story of their family business.  Started as a small shop in downtown Chicago in 1941, PEER Bearing Company made headlines when the family gave $6.6 million in bonuses to its 230 employees upon its sale to Swedish company SKF. The company rose with China and was sold because of China.  The journey was financially rewarding but was long and full of twists and surprises.  When the company was sold, many unknowns surfaced to the stakeholders.
