The 24th annual Business Climate Survey (BCS) Report found that China remains a top global priority for many members but most are not planning significant investments in 2022.
In 2021, US companies in China reported a mixed picture, balancing slightly improved business performance last year with growing uncertainty about the future of China’s business environment. While 2021 revenue and profitability rebounded compared to 2020, they have yet to return to pre-pandemic levels. Our member companies continue to be optimistic about their opportunities in China, but multiple challenges – including sustained air travel disruptions, an increasingly uncertain regulatory environment, difficulty attracting and retaining talent, and the strained US-China relationship – have seen the level of optimism decline.
This is the 24th consecutive year that AmCham China has surveyed its members on China’s business climate, with the results providing invaluable insight into the longer-term trajectory of China’s corporate environment. The BCS results represent around half of the Chamber’s member companies and highlight the impact of COVID-19, regulatory developments, and US-China tensions on member companies.
根据中国美国商会（以下简称“商会“）最新调查结果显示，过去一年，外资企业对于在华经营情况和营商环境的反馈众说纷纭。一方面，经营情况有所改善，但对中国未来营商环境的不确定性在不断攀升。2021年商会会员企业在营收和利润方面相比前一年有所回调，但结果未能达到新冠肺炎疫情（以下简称”疫情“）前水平。虽然商会会员企业总体上对中国市场存在的机遇持乐观态度，但由于中美通航情况不稳定、监管形势不明朗、吸引招聘人才存在困难、以及中美关系紧张等一些列原因，这种乐观情绪在不断消融。
商会年度《中国商务环境调查报告》显示中国仍是许多会员企业的优先战略重点国家，但大多数会员机构并无计划在2022年显著增加在华投资。作为第24期年度商务环境调查报告，调查结果为中国营商环境提供了宝贵的建议。同时，今年的报告结果反应了约半数商会会员企业的实际情况，并着重展现了包括疫情对中国营商环境影响、监管发展、以及中美关系日益紧张等重要议题。
