    Office Temporarily Closed Due to Governor's Order

     

    Due to the order of Governor Pritzker to "Stay Home," our office is temporarily closed.  Please contact us at our mobile phones: Mai Hoang, 312-953-8388; Siva Yam, 312-813-1318; or email: info@usccc.org; maihoang@usccc.org; or sivayam@usccc.org

    DISPOSAL MEDICAL SUPPLY DIRECT BUYING FROM CHINA

     

    U.S.-China Chamber of Commerce will help the general public to purchase medical supplies from China directly

    to cut out the red tags in supply chain and to reduce excessive pricing.

     

    As our country is running short of disposal medical supplies including some of the low value-added products such as surgical masks, disposal gloves etc., there has been frenzy buying which leads to price gouging.  An auction website in Texas recently sold bottles of Purell for over $40 and a box of 16 masks went for $170 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-24/medical-masks-auctioned-for-huge-markup-while-hospitals-run-out  At the same time, every day, I receive at least 20 inquiries from China asking us to help to locate buyers for many of those same items that were auctioned at exuberant prices.  The coronavirus has created almost overnight, hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of global traders. 

     

    The rush to convert every factory to making disposal medical supplies has enabled China to make, reportedly but unconfirmed, over 750 million face masks a day, and this had led to many factories that are set up in 2020 specifically for that purpose to scramble to find buyers to survive.  When some factories, better known, connected, established are working in high gear to meet demand, other are struggling and closing some of their production lines. 

     

    There is no doubt that tthere is high demand in most categories, but on the other hand, there are a lot of supplies are sitting in the warehouse. An imperfect supply chain management might have caused a bottleneck in getting the desperately needed supplies to those that are on the front line or in high risk and led to frenzy buying and price gouging.   Worse, many of these products are substandard and could be harmful to the user https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/health-environment/article/3075225/hong-kong-customs-officials-arrest-four-persons As a non-profit organization that has helped many companies in sourcing products through its extensive network, US-China Chamber of Commerce is launching a new platform which is simple, transparent, and cut through all the red tapes to address this issue as follows:

    • USCCC will work with several trusted third parties to locate reliable suppliers, perform the quality control and ship products via air (FedEx, UPS, or DHL) directly to those who need that.  It is anticipated the turnaround time will be between 6 and 7 days.

     

    • The price will be based on the current factory prices from reliable sources in China. 

     

    • The quantity will be subject to a minimum and a maximum per order to justify the cost of express shipping from China, secure shipping space and cut through the cumbersome paperwork for shipping large quantity. 

    •  

    • The idea is for family members or friends to form a small buying group to obtain the supplies with certain quality, within a reasonable price range, and time frame. 

     

    The process is as follows:

     

    • We will post on our website: www.usccc.org a list of disposable items with the price including shipping cost to the US. 

     

    • Each buyer/buying group can download the form, fill it in, and email to info@usccc.org.

     

    • Once when the order is received, we will inform and send the money to our partners in China. They will pack and ship the items out within 48 hours.  The tracking information will be sent to you.

     

    Please note that this is a new platform, and the process will be refined.  We hope that this model will bridge the gap between supply and demand.  We have limited resources, but we have one of the largest networks, and most important, we continue to innovate with passion.

     

    If you are looking for large quantit, please contact me directly at sivayam@usccc.org or 312-813-1318 (temporary).

     

    Together we will win the war against the pandemic. We will get stronger, better, and more united.

    23rd Annual Chinese New Year Dinner and

    Celebration of the Arrival of the Year of the Golden Rat

     

     

    Thursday, January 30, 2020

    5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

    The Phoenix Restaurant in Chinatown, Chicago

     

     

    Happy Holidays!  In about a month, we shall be celebrating the 4127th Chinese Year and the arrival of the Year of the White Metal or Golden Rat.  On behalf of the U.S.-China Chamber of Commerce (USCCC), we wish you good health, harmony, and prosperity during this holiday season and the coming New Year.

     

    To commemorate the arrival of the Year of the Golden Rat, USCCC will be hosting its 23rd Annual Chinese New Year Dinner Reception on Thursday, January 30 from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Phoenix Restaurant in Chicago’s Chinatown.

     

    The Honorable Zhao Jian, Consul General of The People’s Republic of China in Chicago, has been invited to this special occasion. 

     

    Subject to further confirmation, Dr. Phil Levy, Chief Economist at Flexport and Former Senior Economist for Trade for President George W. Bush’s Council of Economic Advisers and member of Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice’s Policy Planning Staff will comment on “International Trade and the World Economy in the Year of the Golden Rat.”

     

    The last two years have been challenging for U.S.-China businesses.  According to the Chinese zodiac, the coming year, Geng-Zi, in the Stem-Branch calendar which goes in a 60-year cycle, could continue to be perplexing. Perhaps by co-incidence, the years of Geng-Zi in the past three cycles were turbulent.  At the same time, “Rat” is the first of the 12 animal signs, and a good start could mean prosperity for the next 12 years.  Opportunities are always abundant, and those who adjust, innovate, prepare, and work together, with some luck, are poised to be the beneficiaries.  USCCC is launching new programs to provide a broader platform for its members and constituents to that effect.  The coming Chinese New Year symbolizes the beginning of another era, and I look forward to celebrating this extraordinary occasion with you together. 

     

    An invitation and a registration form are hereby enclosed. Please register at your earliest convenience, but no later than Monday, January 27. If you have any questions or comments, I would be grateful if you would contact me directly at 312-368-9030 or  sivayam@usccc.org. Thank you once again for your kind support. We sincerely hope that you will join us on January 30.

     

    Happy Holidays!

     

    With best regards,
