Western China Flipping Wings for Foreign Cooperation
CHINAnUSA.com Bringing US Buyers on Board

Fremont, California, April 27, 2001 - In response to the Chinese central government's decision to shift the focus of economic development from eastern areas to the underdeveloped western China, Ningxia Provincial Government has kicked off a series of visits to the US focusing on the latest development and management in key areas such as environmental protection, industry restructuring, information technology, and resource exploitation.

To assist groups like Ningxia Provincial Government in maintaining accurate alignment with current e-commerce developments and trends, Silicon Valley-based CHINAnUSA.com initiates a training session with the delegation. CHINAnUSA.com, whose dynamic trading solutions have successfully provided a seamless, simplified, and efficient marketplace for all trading participants in China and the US, understands the importance of communicating the most up-to-date know-how to its Chinese customers, thus enabling them to deviate from traditional business practices. Mr. Edward Zhang, Director of China Operations with CHINAnUSA.com, presents the company’s approaches in providing a complete network from product sourcing to shipping logistics. He also shares his views on the overall IT business development in Silicon Valley.

“Ningxia province has a great chance to thrive on the 10-year development plan. With this goal set, our first step is to bring back the most up-to-date development in the IT and e-commerce industries to our local manufacturing enterprises,” said leader of the Ningxia Province delegation.

While China’s long term economic improvement plan has brought to the surface considerable trading opportunities, they don’t mean much to US companies if they don’t know how to access the market. Eliminating the barriers to market penetration will require companies like CHINAnUSA.com.

“We are the locals of the China and USA marketplaces,” said CEO Jerry Shih of CHINAnUSA.com. “Having networks of businesses in those two countries well categorized based on industries, business scales, and other parameters, we can easily match right trading partners when opportunities like this come. More importantly, we take proactive steps to match make them. We seize opportunities for them.”

With an increase in trade cooperation between China and USA, this business community is to expect more B2B e-commerce companies down the road. However, only companies like CHINAnUSA.com, having the ability to timely connect buyers and sellers, will be able to deliver results in the B2B e-commerce pool.
