President Obama's Foreign Priority

Newly reelected President Obama has voiced his opinion on becoming stricter with U.S. and China trade. The most recent concern, automobile subsidies, according to President Obama, directly harm working men and women in the United States. During his past election term, the majority of conflict with China revolved around the issues of trade and currency manipulation. Recent foreign concerns seem to be directed towards the Middle East, with concerns such as the Arab springs. With such demanding and daunting challenges, it is unlikely that China will become a focal point. If in fact trade does become a more highly regulated and strict process, there will be a surge in Chinese outbound investment, as it provides the most lucrative option in the global market. As recent as September, 2012, President Obama signed a 3 year extension of the EB-5 program. With its success, and the job creation - making up the difference between those claimed to have been lost - it is predicted to not only continue, but to excel in the years to come.

Chinese wealth continues to grow

As the Chinese population continues to increase, so does the amount of China’s high-net-worth individuals.

In a recent article found in CNBC, “China Urban Population Set to Explode…” it has been predicted that with the rapid increase of urban population in China could potentially raise the growth rate by .8 percentage points to 8.5 percent in 2015 and by 1.6 percentage points to 7.1 percent in 2020, underpinning sustained growth of 6-8 percent in the coming decade with an expected increase of 300 million.

A recent report in US News indicates that the amount of high net worth individuals (individuals with over $1 million in investable assets) in the US has dropped by 1.1 percent over the past year, but China’s has increased by 5.2 percent ( 27,000 individuals).

Even with predictions of export decrease as the United States and European countries struggle, the wealthy are not concerned. With the rapid expansion of the population any slowdown is temporary as the population consumption rate with close the gap that exports leave. With the increase in wealth on the rise, more and more high-net-worth individuals are looking for profitable investment opportunities in the United States.

In 2013, the event is planned along with the Shanghai Spring Real Estate Expo which has over 80,000 to 100,000 visitors at the same convention center. Chinese executives and investors, as well as over 100 emigration agents are expected, exceeding the number of previous years. 

The successful 2012 (Shanghai) Summit attracted nearly 6,000 potential investors and business executives, some traveling from as far as Xinjiang Province and Inner Mongolia.  Over 30 emigration companies from various cities attended the Chinese Emigration Roundtable and the exhibition. The Chinese Emigration Roundtable is one of the most professional EB-5 forums.

Access to multiple major Chinese media outlets and national business networks are among the top reasons to attend. Because of such attractions, and the many other benefits, the event creates a large pool of investors and executives that are interested in learning about investment, business, and educational opportunities in the United States. 

The 2013 Summit, featuring various presentations and exhibitions, will enable Chinese business executives and investors to learn more about the opportunities of your company and clients. As a participant, sponsor, and/or speaker, you will gain credibility, a heightened professional profile, and recognition at the event. This opportunity is unique. It provides the benefit of proximity, allowing you to meet Chinese businessmen in person. This helps ease the reluctant nature of foreign investors. It shows that you and your business are legitimate, and sincerely dedicated to securing and assuring their investment. 

If you have attended previously, we look forward to reuniting with you and hearing of your business endeavors.
