AmCham China Goes to DC
Delegates discuss reform and cybersecurity issues with US officials

the 2013 White Paper to Chinese
Ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai
For this year’s DC Outreach, a group
of 11 AmCham China delegates
headed to Washington and took
part in a packed three-day slate of meetings
with US government officials and Capitol
Hill aides from April 29 to May 1. The trip
included visits with staff from the Departments
of Commerce, Agriculture, State,
and Energy, the Office of the US Trade
Representative, the US Patent and Trademark
Office, the US Trade and Development
Agency, and the Senate Finance and
House Ways and Means Committees. To
cap off the trip, on May 2 an AmCham China
group led by Chamber Chairman Greg
Gilligan met with recently-tapped Chinese
Ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai, presenting
him with the 2013 American Business
in China White Paper.
Throughout the visit, delegates fielded
a stream of questions on the likely direction
of new leadership in China. Gilligan and
Chamber President Christian Murck said
early signs appear positive that the leaders
would move in the direction of reform, and
in a subsequent meeting Ambassador Cui
reiterated top-level interest in further reform
and opening.
To kick off this year’s Outreach, Am-
Cham China sponsored an event featuring
a moderated discussion on US-China relations
by former CIA director Gen. Michael
Hayden, followed by separate panel discussions
on cybersecurity and the outlook
for reform in China. On the cybersecurity
front—a hot topic in Washington—Hayden
presented two scenarios: On the one hand,
concerns about the integrity of corporate
data could strain bilateral relations. In a
more constructive scenario, cybersecurity
could serve as an issue on which the US
and China collaborate to craft new international
norms of behavior. After Hayden’s
talk, a panel of experts agreed that cyber
looting hurts business confidence and the
specter of such risks could affect decisions
on investment, R&D, and staff.
The panel on the reform outlook in China
also examined the current framework
for bilateral talks. One suggestion: a more
process-oriented structure that included
longer meetings with a small number of
high-level leaders may prove more effective
than the big, heavily attended annual
trade talk “events” that weigh heavily in the
government calendar. A panelist also noted
that in addition to bilateral talks, the Bilateral
Investment Treaty, Trans-Pacific Partnership,
and Government Procurement Agreement
all offer venues to address the preferential
subsidies and other special perks granted to
Chinese state-owned firms that disadvantage
their private-sector competitors.

US Secretary of State John Kerry (Center) met with Chinese officials and industry leaders at an ECP summit in Beijing
US Secretary of State
John Kerry Celebrates ECP
By ECP
During his recent trip to Beijing, US
Secretary of State John Kerry
applauded the US-China Energy
Cooperation Program (ECP) as a bilateral
public-private partnership that is producing
critical innovations in clean energy commercial
deployment.
“The innovations that we have developed
through the Energy Cooperation
Program are the kind of critical immediate
innovations that are going to make us take
advantage of this extraordinary opportunity
that is staring us in the face,” Kerry said in
an April 13 meeting organized by ECP during
his first official visit to China as US Secretary
of State.
At the Diaoyutai Hotel in Beijing, Kerry
praised ECP's platform initiatives in fields like
sustainable aviation biofuels, smart grid technology
deployment, and power plant emission
retrofit as examples of progress that are
“taking things from the drawing board and
putting it out into the marketplace.”
Joining Secretary Kerry at the meeting
was State Councilor Yang Jiechi, who reaffirmed
the Chinese government’s strong
support for US-China bilateral initiatives
that promote clean energy, energy efficiency,
and reduce the impacts climate change.
Energy cooperation should be “a shining
point of US-China relations,” Yang said.
Other accompanying US and Chinese
officials included US Ambassador to China
Gary Locke, US Trade Development
Agency Director Lee Zak, Chinese National
Development and Reform Commission
Vice Chairman and National Energy Administration
(NEA) Administrator Wu Xinxiong,
former NEA Administrator Zhang Guobao,
and Ministry of Commerce Vice Minister
Wang Chao. The government leaders
each commented on the importance of the
collaborative platform and reiterated their
continued support of ECP’s development.
The event was co-organized by the
China Industrial Overseas Development
and Planning Association (CIODPA) and
co-sponsored by the US nonprofit Environmental
Defense Fund, with support from
ECP members LP Amina and Westinghouse.
ECP’s executive committee and the
senior executives of Chinese firms, such as
Shenhua Energy Group, ENN, and State
Nuclear Power Technology Corporation,
attended panel discussions on how US
and Chinese firms can cooperate in clean
energy deployment and energy investment
in the US.
In addition to over 200 representatives
from the energy industry in the US and
China, officials from the US Departments of
Energy and Commerce, the US Embassy
Section for Environmental, Science, and
Health, and the Chinese Ministry of Environmental
Protection also participated in
the meeting.
Immediately after the meeting, the US
and Chinese governments issued the “Joint
US-China Statement on Climate Change,”
in which the countries agreed to establish
a Climate Change Working Group that will
identify new areas for concrete, cooperative
action to foster green and low-carbon economic
growth, including through the use of
public-private partnerships.
ECP Executive Committee Co-Chair
and Vice President of Dow Chemical Greater
China Ningke Peng said that ECP has
become an invaluable public-private platform
for US and Chinese companies to
establish trustworthy commercial partnerships
that facilitate clean energy technology
deployment, which can achieve the energy
goals of both countries. “Today’s meeting
clearly demonstrates that the mission of
ECP has the high level of support from both
governments,” Peng said.

Wuhan Airport Project Gets French Support
The Tianhe Airport transportation hub development
project in Wuhan has received a loan of 100 million
euro from the French Development Agency (AFD),
the second largest loan that the AFD has offered to a project
being carried out in China.
The hub will become the supporting facility of the Tianhe
Airport Terminal 3, and it is designed to offer private car,
shuttle, public bus, metro, and taxi services. Construction
of the airport terminal and the intermodal hub is expected to
complete at the end of 2015.
Once completed, the hub will be jointly operated and
maintained by Keolis, the largest private sector French
transportation group, and Wuhan Transportation Engineering
Construction Investment Group (WTECI), which reports
to the transport commission in charge of the terminal and
hub’s construction. Keolis, which recently set up its new
China offices in Wuhan, also took part during the design of
the airport terminal.

Job duties:
I work with BSR’s more than 250 member companies
and clients to help them integrate sustainability
into their business. I tend to focus on companies in the
finance, healthcare and IT industries. A lot of my work
involves trainings, workshops, interviews, research and
reports in areas like community engagement, communications,
business strategy and due diligence.

Time in Beijing: Nine years
Favorite AmCham China event:
Every year we sit down as the Charity Ball charity selection
committee to review the applications from different local charities.
It’s inspiring to see what these groups are doing and that Am-
Cham China is able to support them. It really makes a difference.
Interesting changes I’ve seen about China in nine years:
The first is that expectations have changed. No longer are
people satisfied by looking at the great progress compared to
the awful past—instead they are comparing themselves to others
inside and outside of China that may have more than them,
and they have higher expectations for the future. The second
is the dramatic lack of trust in China. It seems nowadays noone
trusts the government, businesses, food, media or anything
which is worrying—especially for businesses that survive
on trust with their customers. The third is the empowerment
of Chinese people to take action against environmental issues,
volunteer, set-up charities, criticize companies etc. These are
all massive changes and it is fascinating to see the implications.
What surprises me about working with Chinese companies
on CSR: A few things:
Their company culture and their hurry to get things done.
Rarely does their culture encourage openly identifying problems
and raising them internally to be solved or pushing their bosses.
Some companies are often not willing to spend time and money
to really understand problems and then develop sustainable,
long-term solutions rather than quick fixes. However when they
do decide to get things done, or when senior people/founders
are engaged in the issue—and they are now much more
proactive in sustainability—the speed with which they mobilize
resources is incredible, which is very positive.
The challenges and rewards of my work:
Working on meaningful issues and trying to address such
complicated issues whilst working in BSR’s excellent corporate
culture is rewarding and enjoyable. However a challenge is that
our impact is sometimes hard to see, since we are behind the
scenes helping other companies.
Where I see myself in 10 years:
Probably back in Europe with my family, but definitely still
trying to make the world more sustainable, either working directly
with companies, creating more collaborative solutions, or
by working with social entrepreneurs who are shaking things up
quicker than companies do.
When I am not working, I love to:
Spend time with daughter, play soccer, go running, explore
Beijing by bike, and hang out in the many Beijing parks.
Favorite vacation spots:
Bagan in Myanmar is incredible, Busuanga in Philippines
has fantastic diving, and Jiuzhaigou in China is just stunning
in autumn.
