问答题 As someone has long been engaged in promoting America's trade ties to China， I am so glad to attend today’s seminar on Chinese investment in the states and I very much appreciate your interest in making an investment in my country. The message I wish to convey to you is loud and clear. United State welcomes China's investments a point made abundantly clear by President Obama when he met Chinese president Xi Jinping in California. Why？ The reason is simple. We need Chinese investment to create good-paying American jobs， upgrade our infrastructure and broaden our middle-class. And there are also a whole lot of reasons why Chinese companies ought to come here. The United States has the world’s largest market. America is open for business. people are looking at lower energy costs here. They are looking at stability ， they are looking at the increased productivity of our workers. This is a great platform from which you can export duty-free around the world because of the free-trade agreements we have with many countries. The U.S market is well-developed with the sound legal system and there are lot of sectors worth your investments. The weak recovery in U.S economy means opportunities for Chinese companies to acquire technology， brands and sales networks， which can be connected with the huge Chinese market and bring great benefits to Chinese investors China and the US agreed in July last year to start substantive negotiations on bilateral investment treaty， which will reduce investment barriers and facilitate market access in the two economies. So it is now the best time for Chinese companies to put money in the United States. Entering foreign market is a great challenge for any country. There will be differences in culture， languages， regulations， consumer habits， infrastructure and human capital. so what's important is that you should learn more about the American culture， mesh rush instead of fighting it. We will help you navigate national state and local rules and regulations so that you can invest faster， open facilities faster and make profit faster. But in the United States some industries are highly regulated and foreign companies should appreciate this to avoid delays. To succeed in the United States， a Chinese company should hire experienced local staff will understand how business is conducted across cultures and identify key stakeholders. You should also state legal accounting and insurance services provided by American law firms， investment banks，public relations firms and insurance companies to reduce risks. Chinese companies operating in the US how they can contribute to the local community and bolster American growth and employment. In addition they should undertake crisis plan to prevent a minor issue from developing into a big one that could affect t their image. Building brands is critically important. Chinese brands are not very well known in the United States. Chinese companies will therefore do more to build awareness and promote their products to American consumers. it takes time and money for an investment project to be successful. You need to make long-term and major investing or just don’t bother. More importantly， start Greenfield project， namely， building new factories from ground provides smoother move into the US market than does a merger or acquisition. As more Chinese companies make investment in the United States， they will add a new dimension to the close business relations between the world’s two largest economies. It is my hope that Chinese companies will be firmly implanted in United States and become an integral and valuable part of our country’s economic and social fabric.
