About
the Maryland-China Business Council
The Maryland-China Business Council was
established informally in December of 1994 and was incorporated as a
nonprofit organization in March 1995. The mission of MCBC is to
foster increased business understanding and activity between Maryland
firms and the People's Republic of China. MCBC fulfills this mission
by providing speaker programs and networking opportunities at its
monthly meetings.
The Maryland-China Business Council also hosts delegations from
China and organizes other programs with the aim of increasing
opportunities for successful business relationships and trade. From
time to time MCBC may sponsor workshops, symposia or seminars in the
US or China, with joint US-Chinese participation.
The Maryland-China Business Council's members represent a
cross-section of corporations, entrepreneurs, academia, and
government offices from Maryland, the Greater Washington DC area, and
across the country.
Our Goals
- To demonstrate the power that can be
derived from banding together to interact with an enormous and
dynamic China market.
- To provide excellent information-sharing
opporutnities and presentations on successfully competing in China
at monthly meetings.
- To offer special opportunities through
workshops, symposia, and delegations for business people to meet
with Chinese business and government leaders both in the U.S. and
China.
