MARKING THE MILESTONE

Our History

On June 9, 1915, 45 American businessmen gathered at Shanghai’s Palace Hotel (today’s Swatch Art Peace Hotel) to discuss the creation of a business association that would promote the interests of American commerce in China.

Over the past century, although our name has changed and our membership has grown and diversified, our core mission has remained constant – to promote the success of our members and to support healthy commercial ties between the United States and China.

2025 marks the 110th anniversary of AmCham Shanghai. This milestone is an opportunity to take pride in our long history. More importantly, it is an opportunity to celebrate the contributions of the American business community over the past century to China's economic development and bilateral relations.
