DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The United States of America – China Chamber of Commerce (USCCC), www.usccc.org, a not-for-profit, bi-national membership organization dedicated to developing increased U.S.-China trade and investment activities by assisting American and Chinese companies, professionals and the general public to better understand the business environments and cultural traditions relevant to successfully doing business in both countries, was announced today as a Co-Organizer for the First Annual Halter Financial Summit.

The Halter Financial Summit “China in a Changing World” will host a gathering of the world’s top-level executives, government officials, financial professionals, economists, and investors to explore how the world financial climate has changed since the most recent global recession, the worst since the great depression, and specifically China’s future role in the global economy. The Summit will be held in Shanghai, China April 7-9, 2010 at the Pudong Shangri-La Hotel.

The keynote speaker, George W. Bush, Founder of the George W. Bush Foundation and 43rd President of the United States of America, will give his view of current world events; John Snow, Secretary of the Treasury (2003-2006) will give remarks on the world economy; former U.S. Ambassador to China, Senator James Sasser will give his view of Sino-U.S. relations; economist and China expert Professor Pieter Bottelier will have a spirited dialogue with Dr. Zhang Tao to discuss China’s changing role in the world economy; the heads of the world’s major stock exchanges will be gathering to talk about how they plan to interact with Chinese companies; and bankers, fund managers and deal makers from around the globe will be there contributing their thoughts and ideas about how Chinese companies can take advantage of the increasing world demand to invest in China.

“China has already become the manufacturing center of the world, and it is very logical for China to develop its capital market as quickly as possible,” said Siva Yam, President of the USCCC. "This special event will be one of the key steps in this process." Mr. Yam will also speak at the Conference.

On the first day of the conference, April 7, there will be seven separate rooms in which a total of 100 Chinese companies will be giving corporate presentations throughout the day. There will be two rooms dedicated to Chinese companies listed in the U.S. markets. The remaining five rooms will have Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong, Europe, Canada, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, as well as companies that are still private and not yet trading on any market.
