Fujian
Energy Low-Carbon Transition Cooperation Business Outreach Successfully Delivered
From September 9 to 10, the U.S.-China
Energy Cooperation Program (ECP) invited energy technology companies such as
Honeywell, Emerson, Baker Hughes, ExxonMobil, Air Products, Altec, PRI, and
Aspen Technology to participate in the U.S.-China Provincial Economic and Trade
Cooperation and Sustainable Development Exchange Event, held in Xiamen during
the 24th China International Fair for Investment & Trade (CIFIT).
The U.S.-China Provincial Economic and
Trade Cooperation and Sustainable Development Exchange Event is one of the annual
activities under the U.S.-China provincial economic and trade cooperation
mechanism. This year’s event was co-hosted by the Xiamen Municipal Government,
Fujian Department of Commerce, China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export
of Machinery and Electronic Products (CCCME), AmCham China, and AmCham South
China, with ECP as a co-organizer and support from the Bay Area Council in
California. Approximately 200 representatives from local governments and
business sectors from both countries attended, including participants from Tianjin,
Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Fujian,
Shandong, Hunan, Guangdong, Chongqing, Sichuan, and Shaanxi provinces in China,
as well as California, Maryland, Illinois, Washington, Georgia, and New Jersey
in the United States. Attendees engaged in in-depth discussions on two key
topics: the potential for U.S.-China provincial economic and trade cooperation
and urban energy transition and sustainable high-quality development. They
analyzed relevant policies, shared successful case studies, examined
opportunities and challenges in U.S.-China economic and trade relations,
explored practical cooperation opportunities, and held on-site networking
sessions.
The opening ceremony was chaired by Ms. Liu
Chun, Vice President of CCCME. Remarks were given by Wang Chengquan, Vice
Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Xiamen Municipal People’s Congress;
Zhong Muda, Deputy Head of the FuJian Department of Commerce; Qiu Yong, Deputy
Director-General of the Department of American and Oceanian Affairs of the
Ministry of Commerce; Michael Hart, President of AmCham China; and Harley
Seyedin, President of AmCham South China.
Liu Junqi, Senior Research Fellow at the
Beijing ESG Research Institute, and Yu Feng, President of Honeywell China,
provided in-depth insights on “ESG Development Trends and U.S.-China
Cooperation Opportunities” and “New Quality Productivity and Technological
Innovation to Support Sustainable Development.” Following these keynote
presentations, panel discussions were held on “Potential for U.S.-China Local
Economic and Trade Cooperation” and “Urban Energy Transition and Sustainable
High-Quality Development.” Provincial and state representatives expressed their
strong support for U.S.-China economic cooperation, welcoming increased trade
and investment, and looked forward to sharing experiences and advancing
cooperation in climate change response and energy transition, aiming to promote
economic growth at both national and local levels. U.S. business
representatives emphasized their confidence in China’s vast market and economic
prospects and expressed appreciation for China’s ongoing reforms and increased
openness. They conveyed a commitment to staying in China, fostering mutual
growth, and promoting mutually beneficial cooperation across various sectors.
After the event, ECP and the Fujian
Department of Commerce organized a business outreach for delegates to Quanhui Petrochemical Industrial Park,
Zhangzhou Hua’an Economic Development Zone, and Ningde Dongqiao Economic and
Technological Development Zone. They conducted on-site research with well-known
local companies such as Sinochem Quanzhou, Sinolong Industrial, CATL, and SAIC
Ningde, and held in-depth discussions on green, low-carbon transition
cooperation within the energy and petrochemical sectors.
