MORE CIFIT DETAILS
According to AmCham South China’s statistics from last year’s Fair, CIFIT is where US$298 million in investment is forge every minute, twenty-four hours a day for three consecutive days. The Fair is focused strictly on “investment” as opposed to “commodities.” The new President of China, Xi Jingping, began CIFIT almost 20 years ago when he was Vice Mayor of Xiamen. The Fair is attended by at least the Vice Premier in charge of China’s economy and each and every standing Vice Governor of every province and standing Vice Mayor of every city in China.
Last year, some 17,000 businesses from China and around the world attended representing 130 countries. Many presidents, prime ministers, and ministers of many countries attend. AmCham South China’s delegation exceeded 250 businesses and was joined by U.S. Ambassador Gary Locke. During those three days our delegation inked US$3 billion in deals – a highlight being one company that signed eight deals worth US$600 million! Over 2,000 private business executives from China, all seeking overseas investment opportunities, will be in attendance – in addition to the 17,000+ regular attendees.
