The U.S. Commercial Service would like to assist American Businesses to be more successful in China. We are offering a free ad listing in the biggest disaster related catalogue to ever be distributed in China. The U.S. Disaster Reduction Handbook is being compiled by the U.S. Commercial Service and will list disaster related companies who are leaders in this sector. It will be translated into Chinese and distributed to top Chinese Officials and Business Leaders. This is in preparation for the Shanghai International Disaster Reduction and Safety Exhibition that will be held in Shanghai October 13-15 2010.

For more information about the Disaster Reduction Handbook or Disaster Trade Show please log-on to www.buyusa.gov/china/en/or contact Jane Shen ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

MN District Export Council (DEC) member Jason Dickson sat down with Bryan O'Byrne from the Trade Compliance Center (TCC) at the U.S. Department of Commerce.  The TCC is the U.S. Government's focal point for monitoring foreign compliance with trade agreements to see that U.S. firms and workers get the maximum benefits from these agreements.
