Our Services

Carolina China Council is committed to assist North Carolina governments, businesses, schools, nonprofit organizations and individuals to succeed in China, and Chinese businesses, schools, and individuals to find opportunities in the United States. We achieve our goals through our network of connections, vast experience, extensive knowledge, and professionalism.

Building Government-to-Government Relations

We provide assistance to all levels of government in North Carolina in their dealings with their Chinese counterparts and vice versa. Specifically, we facilitate bilateral communications, arrange government meetings, provide logistical support for inviting and hosting government delegations, assist municipal governments developing sister city relations.

Network of Connections

Our broad connections in North Carolina and China enable us to connect you with the right person in the right government agency when you need it. We have arranged dozens of North Carolina local and state government officials to meet their Chinese counterparts, and numerous Chinese delegations to meet with their counterparts in North Carolina.

Promoting Education Exchanges

We provide assistance to K-12 schools in North Carolina and China in their effort to develop sister school programs and exchange students and teachers; and working with our partners to host summer camps and travel study programs in North Carolina and China. We manage the "Bridge Fellowship" program to support summer camp programs.

Extensive Knowledge

Let our knowledge work for you. Our education and study abroad team has established an extensive partner network of educational institutions in China and the United States, has successfully coordinated summer camps and travel study programs for high-school and college students, and helped those who wish to enter college and graduate school to file successful applications.

Making Business-to-Business Connections

As part of our economic development effort, we partner with government agencies and other economic development groups to help North Carolina companies identify potential customers and business partners in China, and bring Chinese companies and investors to NC.  Whether you have a product to export to China or a proposal   to develop business in China, our experienced business development consultants can help you.  If you are a Chinese company and wish to expand your business in North Carolina and other parts of America, we will help you navigate in your unfamiliar business land, reduce uncertainty, and reach your business goal. 

Vast Experience

When it comes to business, experience counts.  Our cross-cultural experience in both China and United States can help you safely navigating through the mine field in your unfamiliar business territory, so you can reach your business goal sooner and less cost.
