Los Angeles just became the ultimate hub for global networking! This past Tuesday, the 2026 China-California Business Forum kicked off in the City of Angels, bringing together around 550 power players, including government officials and business titans from the Chinese mainland and the United States. 🤝✨
The vibe? Pure collaboration. The goal? To explore new ways of working together and keep the momentum of exchange going strong. This forum has become an iconic brand for "sub-national cooperation," meaning it's all about the direct links between specific regions—in this case, the golden state of California and various provinces from the Chinese mainland.
In a video address, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng urged California to help pave the way for a future built on mutual respect and peaceful coexistence. He emphasized that finding a "win-win" path is the key to success in this new era. 🌍💬
Adding to the excitement, Chinese Consul General in Los Angeles Guo Shaochun highlighted that the event is more than just a meeting; it's a high-energy platform for policy dialogue and a "matchmaking" opportunity for businesses to find the perfect partners to expand their reach and grow their investments. 📈
California State Treasurer Fiona Ma also shared her support in a written speech, noting the long history of economic partnership and innovation between the two sides. According to Ma, these forums are essential for building the trust and relationships needed for "shared prosperity." 🌟
One of the biggest highlights this year was the presence of Hainan, the southern province serving as the Guest Province of Honor. Zhao Feng, Hainan's vice governor, expressed a strong desire to dive deeper into trade and investment with California, aiming to create a fresh, modern model for how regions from the Chinese mainland and the U.S. can team up.
As an annual event, the China-California Business Forum continues to be a vital bridge, turning big ideas into pragmatic results for trade and investment. Stay tuned to see how these new partnerships shape the global market! 🚀💰
