In 2021 Twice as Many Companies Reinvested US$250 Million or More than Budgeted
PR Newswire
GUANGZHOU, China, March 1, 2022
GUANGZHOU, China, March 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Chamber of Commerce in South China (AmCham South China) today released its 2022 White Paper on the Business Environment in Chinaand 2022 Special Report on the State of Business in South China. The release was attended by over 300 government officials, business executives and members of media including over 40 foreign consulates mostly represented by their consuls general. Both publications can be downloaded free of charge from http://www.amcham-southchina.org/amcham/static/publications/publications.jsp
The 600-page bilingual White Paper on the Business Environment in China, now in its 15th year, is a well-structured and extensively-researched volume which presents a multifaceted and unbiased account of the business environment in China. The 147-page bilingual Special Report on the State of the Business in South China, our 18th such endeavor, provides a comprehensive and quantitative analysis of the business community and valuable insights into the development trends in South China. This year 230 companies were studied. Both publications are researched and produced independently by AmCham South China and do not represent the opinions of the US or any other government or organization. AmCham South China does not receive any funds from any government in the production of these publications.
2021 was an extraordinary and bittersweet year. China stood out for its economic resilience in the face of unprecedented global changes and a once-in-a-century pandemic. Its GDP grew by 8.1% to 114 trillion yuan (US$ 18 trillion) in 2021, its fastest pace in a decade, which showcased its strong growth momentum and enormous market potential. Foreign companies are increasingly venturing into China, looking for business opportunities there. According to the 2022 Special Report on the State of Business in South China, the actual reinvestment in China in 2021 experienced a year-on-year growth of 5%, closing the gap to the pre-pandemic level. 80% of the American companies reinvested last year. Noticeably, in 2021, twice as many companies reinvested US$250 million or more than they had budgeted, which is expected to result in GDP growth in the second half of 2024.
However, a rising demand for electricity and soaring coal and gas prices interacted with strict climate targets, which left China exposed to a power crunch in 2021. In AmCham South China's first study on the power shortage conducted in 2021 between October 8 and 12, 21% of the impacted companies experienced more than 40% reduction in production capacity due to the power rationing policy, but the overall picture looked much more benign in the second study with the figure dropping to only 3%. Nearly half of the studied companies believe that the shortages problem will be resolved by the end of the first quarter of 2022.
Most companies show greater optimism for an improved US-China bilateral relation in 2022. Compared with a year earlier, strong negative impacts brought by US and Chinese tariffs on companies eased in 2021. Dr. Harley Seyedin, President of AmCham South China, the winner of 2017 Oslo Business for Peace Award (together with Elon Musk, Durreen Shahnaz and Murad Al-Katib), which is awarded by an Award Committee of Nobel Laureates in Peace and Economics, said, "Diplomatic relations between the US and China have endured through almost half a century. As COVID-19 enters its third year, both sides need to stand firmly together at this crucial juncture to address common difficulties facing humanity including climate change, the pandemic, hunger and poverty." Dr. Seyedin also said, "I am hopeful that the nomination of highly credentialled and experienced Nicolas Burns as US ambassador to China will contribute to the continuity, stability and sustainability of this critical relationship."
Key Takeaways of the 2022 White Paperon the Business Environment in China and the 2022 Special Reporton the State of Business in South China:
2021 saw an increase in headcount by half of the participating companies. Strong confidence can be found in the employment expansion plan with 57% of companies reporting to augment their headcounts significantly or slightly in 2022.
Companies' share of global annual revenue from China went through a modest but mostly positive fluctuation in comparison with previous four years. Approximately half of the companies obtained over 30% of revenue from China. 63% of the companies found their revenue from China increase significantly or slightly in 2021 which returned to pre-COVID levels.
Around 82% of the companies have already achieved profitability in China in 2021, a slight reduction compared to the last three years. Nevertheless, 56% of them reported to have met their budget expectations, a 7-percentage point uptick in comparison with the previous year.
Fewer companies expect to reach profitability in a short period of time. An unprecedented situation can be noticed in this year's report in which up to 12% of the companies believe that it will take longer than six years to become profitable.
Most companies still take a sanguine view of the business outlook in China, though the percentage dropped by 7% from a year earlier to 77%.
China is enjoying the highest popularity of all time as one of the preferred investment destinations by an overwhelming majority of the studied companies.
About three-fifths of the companies considered their overall return on investment (ROI) in China in 2021 to be higher than their global ROI.
Companies still have huge faith in the Chinese market, 77% of which chose to keep their investment in China in 2021. Not a single company showed intention to leave China completely. Noticeably, European and North American markets have greater attractions for a limited amount of shifted reinvestment this year.
Companies still take a strong interest in reinvesting in China despite its economic slowdown. More than 70% have reinvestment plans for 2022, including 76% of American companies. The percentage of companies with budgeted reinvestment of over US$250 million in China increases from 5% in 2021 to 10% in 2022.
It is estimated that companies will reserve US$26.5 billion from profits for reinvestment in China in 2022 and the next three to five years, a dramatic increase of 45% compared to the previous year.
Roughly 72% of companies intend to expand in China over the next three years, 7% up from last year.
2021 marks the fifth consecutive year that Guangzhou remains the top reinvestment destination in China. Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing are also ranked as the most favored reinvestment cities by the studied companies.
The business environment in South China shows an upward spiral of improvement in recent years.
2022 is a critical year for further implementing the 14th Five-Year Plan and comprehensively promoting the rural revitalization strategy. "In the past decade, we, at AmCham South China have raised over 5,172,000 RMB in cash that literally saved the lives of 224 orphaned children by paying for their immediate life-saving medical procedures. We have also raised 12,945,811 RMB in in-kind donations which have raised four impoverished villages above the poverty line. I am deeply grateful to our over 2,300 members who have been actively involved in the philanthropic endeavors." said Dr. Harley Seyedin. He added that many companies are still affected by visa and travel restrictions caused by the pandemic. The Chamber which conducted extensive lobbying was recently informed that PU letters for qualified expats and their family members can now be obtained through application at local district offices. The Chamber is happy to have achieved this milestone.

Real estate is a vibrant, dynamic and competitive industry. From the thrill of a sale to the pursuit of new leads, it keeps you on your toes. That said, it can also be incredibly isolating, and it can be hard to stay motivated. As a way to deal with this, many agents and brokers seek out professional mentorship as a means to gain insight and level up their performance. Across the country, the best real estate coaches serve as valuable mentors who can help agents and brokers achieve the success they deserve.
“It’s really hard for independent business owners to get unbiased advice from themselves,” says Kyle Scott, President of SERHANT. Ventures. “So they need unbiased experts to work with that will help them grow their business — someone who has been there, who has done it, and who is able to see their business from both the 35,000-foot view and down in the weeds.”
A quick internet search will prove that real estate coaching programs are plentiful. Whether you’re looking to expand your team or client network or figure out how to delegate work so you can focus on the tasks you do best, a real estate coaching program could be a valuable launchpad. But when it comes to choosing the right one for your unique needs, there’s a lot to consider. Here, we highlight some of the best real estate coaches in the industry and their programs.
An unbiased view is worth millions. Often, we turn to our closest friends and family for guidance. Unfortunately, they’re usually not familiar with the ins and outs of the real estate industry and can’t provide you with the relevant feedback you need. As a result, many independent contractors rely on themselves, which generally doesn’t work either.
You can’t advise yourself, you’re too close to it. A coach works best for someone who is actually looking to grow their business, someone who is looking to put in the time and the energy to make a difference in achieving more income this year.
Hire a coach if you want to start taking your business to the next level for any reason — you want to make more money, have more freedom with your time, or stop riding the ins and outs of the commission cycle.President of SERHANT. Ventures

The full picture: The best real estate coaches for 2024
Hiring a top real estate coach goes far beyond just expanding your skills. While growing and educating yourself as you navigate your career is essential, hiring a coach is all about seeking to achieve more. Whether you’re looking to boost lead generation, build a solid personal brand, or make more commission income, having the input of a seasoned expert is a priceless step in the right direction. As you can see through the endless reviews and testimonials on coaches’ websites, agents who want to scale their business and take their profits to a higher level often seek the outside guidance of a coach. While the cost of hiring someone may be significant, the return on investment is equally as monumental.
Real estate coaching programs vary in price significantly. Most cost over $500 per month, with others charging several thousand dollars per month. “Oftentimes, it is the case that you get what you pay for,” said Kyle Scott, President of SERHANT. Ventures.
However, prices can also vary depending on the specific niche of real estate coaching you’re focusing on. The more specificity you’re seeking, the higher the financial investment. Of course, self-led courses are likely to cost much less.
Does your career feel stalled right now? Are you ready to take your career to the next level, but you’re not sure where to start? In a down market, you can channel your time and energy into actively improving your business skills so that you’ll be sufficiently prepared for when the market changes.
“When things pick up again, you’re ready to capture the climbing market,” says Scott. “If that’s the case, then the best time to embrace coaching is now. At the same time, a thriving market presents agents with new challenges, ranging from having to turn away business or being unable to service your existing business in a way you’re proud of,” Scott noted. “In that type of market, a real estate coach can help you determine what kind of junior agent or assistant would serve you best. How do I figure out how to manage my business in a way that I can keep up with the volume?”
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a new interview that he’s not ruling out accepting a White House position if former President Donald Trump is reelected in November.
“If I get a chance to serve and think that I can make a difference ... I’m almost certainly going to say yes to that opportunity to try and deliver on behalf of the American people,” he told Fox News, when asked during a interview if he would work for President Trump again.
“I’m confident President Trump will be looking for people who will faithfully execute what it is he asked them to do,” Mr. Pompeo said during the interview, which aired on March 8. “I think as a president, you should always want that from everyone.”
He said that as a former secretary of state, “I certainly wanted my team to do what I was asking them to do and was enormously frustrated when I found that I couldn’t get them to do that.”
Mr. Pompeo, a former U.S. representative from Kansas, served as Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director in the Trump administration from 2017 to 2018 before he was secretary of state from 2018 to 2021. After he left office, there was speculation that he could mount a Republican presidential bid in 2024, but announced that he wouldn’t be running.
President Trump hasn’t publicly commented about Mr. Pompeo’s remarks.
In 2023, amid speculation that he would make a run for the White House, Mr. Pompeo took a swipe at his former boss, telling Fox News at the time that “the Trump administration spent $6 trillion more than it took in, adding to the deficit.”
“That’s never the right direction for the country,” he said.
In a public appearance last year, Mr. Pompeo also appeared to take a shot at the 45th president by criticizing “celebrity leaders” when urging GOP voters to choose ahead of the 2024 election.
2024 Race
Mr. Pompeo’s interview comes as the former president was named the “presumptive nominee” by the Republican National Committee (RNC) last week after his last major Republican challenger, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, dropped out of the 2024 race after failing to secure enough delegates. President Trump won 14 out of 15 states on Super Tuesday, with only Vermont—which notably has an open primary—going for Ms. Haley, who served as President Trump’s U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
On March 8, the RNC held a meeting in Houston during which committee members voted in favor of President Trump’s nomination.
“Congratulations to President Donald J. Trump on his huge primary victory!” the organization said in a statement last week. “I’d also like to congratulate Nikki Haley for running a hard-fought campaign and becoming the first woman to win a Republican presidential contest.”
Earlier this year, the former president criticized the idea of being named the presumptive nominee after reports suggested that the RNC would do so before the Super Tuesday contests and while Ms. Haley was still in the race.
Also on March 8, the RNC voted to name Trump-endorsed officials to head the organization. Michael Whatley, a North Carolina Republican, was elected the party’s new national chairman in a vote in Houston, and Lara Trump, the former president’s daughter-in-law, was voted in as co-chair.
“The RNC is going to be the vanguard of a movement that will work tirelessly every single day to elect our nominee, Donald J. Trump, as the 47th President of the United States,” Mr. Whatley told RNC members in a speech after being elected, replacing former chair Ronna McDaniel. Ms. Trump is expected to focus largely on fundraising and media appearances.
President Trump hasn’t signaled whom he would appoint to various federal agencies if he’s reelected in November. He also hasn’t said who his pick for a running mate would be, but has offered several suggestions in recent interviews.
In various interviews, the former president has mentioned Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), Vivek Ramaswamy, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, among others.
Riley Gaines Explains How Women's Sports Are Rigged To Promote The Trans Agenda
Is there a light forming when it comes to the long, dark and bewildering tunnel of social justice cultism? Global events have been so frenetic that many people might not remember, but only a couple years ago Big Tech companies and numerous governments were openly aligned in favor of mass censorship. Not just to prevent the public from investigating the facts surrounding the pandemic farce, but to silence anyone questioning the validity of woke concepts like trans ideology.
From 2020-2022 was the closest the west has come in a long time to a complete erasure of freedom of speech. Even today there are still countries and Europe and places like Canada or Australia that are charging forward with draconian speech laws. The phrase "radical speech" is starting to circulate within pro-censorship circles in reference to any platform where people are allowed to talk critically. What is radical speech? Basically, it's any discussion that runs contrary to the beliefs of the political left.
Open hatred of moderate or conservative ideals is perfectly acceptable, but don't ever shine a negative light on woke activism, or you might be a terrorist.
Riley Gaines has experienced this double standard first hand. She was even assaulted and taken hostage at an event in 2023 at San Francisco State University when leftists protester tried to trap her in a room and demanded she "pay them to let her go." Campus police allegedly witnessed the incident but charges were never filed and surveillance footage from the college was never released.
It's probably the last thing a champion female swimmer ever expects, but her head-on collision with the trans movement and the institutional conspiracy to push it on the public forced her to become a counter-culture voice of reason rather than just an athlete.
For years the independent media argued that no matter how much we expose the insanity of men posing as women to compete and dominate women's sports, nothing will really change until the real female athletes speak up and fight back. Riley Gaines and those like her represent that necessary rebellion and a desperately needed return to common sense and reason.
In a recent interview on the Joe Rogan Podcast, Gaines related some interesting information on the inner workings of the NCAA and the subversive schemes surrounding trans athletes. Not only were women participants essentially strong-armed by colleges and officials into quietly going along with the program, there was also a concerted propaganda effort. Competition ceremonies were rigged as vehicles for promoting trans athletes over everyone else.
The bottom line? The competitions didn't matter. The real women and their achievements didn't matter. The only thing that mattered to officials were the photo ops; dudes pretending to be chicks posing with awards for the gushing corporate media. The agenda took precedence.
Lia Thomas, formerly known as William Thomas, was more than an activist invading female sports, he was also apparently a science project fostered and protected by the athletic establishment. It's important to understand that the political left does not care about female athletes. They do not care about women's sports. They don't care about the integrity of the environments they co-opt. Their only goal is to identify viable platforms with social impact and take control of them. Women's sports are seen as a vehicle for public indoctrination, nothing more.
The reasons why they covet women's sports are varied, but a primary motive is the desire to assert the fallacy that men and women are "the same" psychologically as well as physically. They want the deconstruction of biological sex and identity as nothing more than "social constructs" subject to personal preference. If they can destroy what it means to be a man or a woman, they can destroy the very foundations of relationships, families and even procreation.
For now it seems as though the trans agenda is hitting a wall with much of the public aware of it and less afraid to criticize it. Social media companies might be able to silence some people, but they can't silence everyone. However, there is still a significant threat as the movement continues to target children through the public education system and women's sports are not out of the woods yet.
The ultimate solution is for women athletes around the world to organize and widely refuse to participate in any competitions in which biological men are allowed. The only way to save women's sports is for women to be willing to end them, at least until institutions that put doctrine ahead of logic are made irrelevant.
