With the APEC CEO Summit (November 17-18) and Leaders’ Meeting (November 18-19) approaching in Shenzhen, the priorities of China as host, the US and other economies are coming into focus.

We are excited to invite you to USCBC’s Shanghai edition of our China Operations Conference (CHOPs) 2026, our premier annual event in Shanghai, which will be held on November 3, 2026. Join us together with policy makers, business executives, and leading thinkers to share perspectives on how to maximize the American business community’s success and better navigate the increasing complexities of the China market. This year’s flagship event promises to be an insightful half-day of expert panel discussions covering critical topics including China’s macroeconomy and its implications for US firms, the evolving trade policies and geopolitical landscape, American companies’ role in China’s tech transformation, and other key issues that impact US businesses in China.

On November 3, the US will hold its midterm elections — a pivotal contest that will determine control of both chambers of Congress and, in turn, shape the direction of US domestic and foreign policy for the next two years, particularly with regard to US-China relations. USCBC is co-hosting a member briefing on this topic with the US-China Education Trust (USCET) to discuss the implications on the bilateral relationship and business community. For decades, USCET has been dedicated to advancing education and cultural exchange for next generation leaders from both the US and China.
