AmCham South China Says 95% of Surveyed US Firms Plan to Expand in China

The 26th China International Fair for Investment and Trade was held in Xiamen from September 8 to 11. The American Chamber of Commerce in South China has organized a delegation to the fair for 23 consecutive years, and more than 50 member companies attended this edition.

Data provided by the chamber on previous participation shows that each delegation it has led has brought an average of USD 2 billion in investment.

A survey by the American Chamber of Commerce in South China shows that 95% of surveyed US companies plan to continue deepening their presence in the Chinese market.

Comparative data provided by the chamber shows that when it conducted its first survey 23 years ago, fewer than 25% of US companies produced in China to serve the Chinese domestic market. In its latest survey, as of March 2026, that share had risen to 75%. Fifteen years ago, China produced almost no electric vehicles; as of 2026, 60% of the world's electric vehicles are made in China.
