Recently, the National Committee on trade between China and the United States (USCBC) issued the 2014 China business environment survey report.

The contents of the report are mainly related to the following 10 aspects: (1) the competition between American enterprises in China and Chinese enterprises; (2) enforcement of intellectual property rights; (3) foreign investment restrictions; (4) human resources, including recruitment and retention; (5) cost growth; (6) unfair enforcement of laws / enforcement of Chinese laws; (7) administrative licensing; (8) pparency; (9) non discrimination / national treatment; (10) overcapacity in the Chinese market.

The survey showed that, even if the GDP growth slowed, the Chinese market continued to provide important opportunities for American enterprises, and nearly half of the business income of the surveyed enterprises was two digit growth.

Although the growth rate is lower than in previous years, the growth rate is still gratifying compared with other markets in the world.

For US companies, the Chinese market is still very profitable, but the competitive pressure and rising cost pressures from Chinese enterprises also reduce the profit margins of American enterprises.

However, the report shows that the US business has not had any substantial impact on China's economic reform, nor has there been any substantial improvement in the 10 main aspects.

In addition, the report pointed out that China's environmental pollution problem has begun to affect the retention of talent, 40% of the surveyed enterprises pointed out that it is difficult to retain foreign staff because of air pollution problems, and pollution also increased the number of foreign workers and local staff who had sick leave.

USCBC has been investigating China's business environment for many years. Half of its business headquarters are located in China and half in the United States.

Among them, 85% of the surveyed enterprises have been in the Chinese market for more than 10 years.
