German Chamber of Commerce in China
We act as a bridge builder, connecting, translating, representing, giving voice and advocating for German businesses in China. China’s economy is more than four times the size of Germany’s and offers tremendous opportunities to German companies. At the same time, the Chinese market is complex and can be hard to navigate. This is where the German Chamber helps – we offer a powerful platform for networking and exchange between German companies and the local business communities.
