ChinaMart® Los Angeles and TopTenWholesale will host China’s Vice President Xi Jinping and his business delegation in supplier matching seminar events to enhance investment in and exports from the US to China, creating more balanced trade between the two countries. The events will be held February 16 at ChinaMart LAX and Pepperdine University’s Business School. You can register for the supplier matching events on TopTenWholesale.

Key sponsors for the seminar events include TopTenWholesale and Manufacturer.com as well as PMF Bancorp, ASD Tradeshow, Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP, Pepperdine University’s Graziadio Business School and The World Trade Center Los Angeles-Long Beach (LAEDC/Los Angeles County).

Positioned as China’s next president, Vice President Xi Jinping is coming to Los Angeles in an effort to build and maintain political and business relationships. “No matter what changes affect the international situation, our commitment to developing the Sino-U.S. cooperative partnership should never waver in the face of passing developments,” said Vice President Xi in Beijing last month.

According to the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR), exports to China neared $100 billion last year, an increase of nearly one-third over the previous year. US exports to China grew faster than any other country in last several years and continue to accelerate with nearly 10% percent of all US exports going to China right now.

“ChinaMart’s focus is to attract Chinese investment in the US by creating a one-stop platform with all the necessary components needed to setup a company in the US,” said ChinaMart CEO Stephen Perl. “We have been doing this successfully for many Chinese companies since our debut at the Canton Fair in 2007,” he added.

As one of the world’s leading experts on China and Chinese-US trade, Perl laid out a way that Sino-US Business relations could be improved in his recent book, “Dancing with the Dragon: The Secrets of Doing Business with China.”

Vice President Xi Jinping’s business delegation track begins February 16 at ChinaMart LAX with a Business Mixer and Match-Making Session to promote US exports and imports. The Match-Making Session will be managed by leading wholesale/manufacturing trade platforms Manufacturer.com and TopTenWholesale.com, led by CEO Jason Prescott. “It’s very exciting to have the opportunity to bring together some of the United States’ largest importers with China’s leading exporters,” said Prescott.

Many large Chinese factories and state-owned trading companies will be attending. There will be breakout match-making sessions for attendees in various product categories. That means there will be many opportunities to import and export goods from and to China at this event.

The second portion of the ChinaMart® Seminar will be held at Pepperdine University’s Business School at the Howard Hughes Campus where the Dean of the Graziadio’s Business School, Dr. Linda Livingstone, will introduce Dr. Terry Young, the Chairman of Pepperdine’s Economics Department, who will make a presentation to Vice President Xi Jinping’s business delegation on US- China Trade relations and the current economic situation between the two countries.

Meet the next President of China and your local Government Officials who can assist you with your trade needs from the County and City of Los Angeles, as well as officials from China’s Canton Fair, Ministry of Commerce and others.
