Elizabeth Cafaro, USCIB’s marketing assistant for Carnet and Trade Services, spoke at the conference on a panel about “Utilizing Trade Shows in China.”

At the event, U.S. Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade Stefan M. Selig said that U.S.-China trade is right on track, and that China is an elite market for U.S. exports, according to CNC TV. Selig also noted that China is the third-largest market for U.S. exports, supporting over 800,000 American jobs, and that facilitating American business engagement with the Greater China market is a high priority.

The conference was part of the U.S. Commercial Service Business Forum Series, and attendees were able to meet one-on-one with U.S. Commercial Service diplomats and obtain the resources necessary to succeed in the Greater China market.
