China has been a leading destination for businesses and entrepreneurs to expand and grow within their fields in the last four decades. But the recent surveys conducted by foreign business prospects in China, with many citing the impact of COVID-19 containment measures, rising operational costs, and worsening geopolitical tensions as major anxieties.

Despite the issues facing foreign companies in China, there are also indications that they remain committed to the China market. Should the Asia American Multitechnology companies plan to 'do more, not less' business in China? Is the allure of doing business in China persistent or vanishing?

Dr. Jack Q. Gao is visiting the Bay Area from China and we are pleased to have him accept our invitation to share his views with our AAMA friends as he had done in the last many years. 

China is at a historical crossroads of innovation—presenting U.S. companies with a new economic reality and new rules of engagement.

Join us this Friday, July 22nd, 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm PST for an exclusive event with global expansion experts from the U.S. and China featuring a keynote by Dr. Jack Q. Gao on the new reality of business with China.

Together, we'll explore the impact of these recent trends driving change across the Chinese innovation economy, and share optimal business practices for U.S.-based company expansion into Asia and vice-versa.

What does all of this mean for U.S. innovation companies and investors looking to do business in and/or with China?

This event will be led by Li Song, CFA—Managing Director of SVB’s Asia Link practice, and moderated by Robert P. Lee—AAMA Board Member and AAMA-PRD Chairman.


Your ticket purchase also includes a set menu dinner from the HK Flower Lounge Restaurant, a speaking program, discussions, networking, and wine provided by Silicon Valley Bank.

Exclusive preview of Everything Everywhere All At Once

AMC Kabuki 8, 1881 Post Street, San Francisco, CA 94115

March 8, 2022

 

The topic of Innovation and Expansion is still at the heart of the US-China relationship as both nations race to invent and build for the future. While geopolitical tensions have cooled the cross-border relationships between the two ecosystems, both markets have continued to innovate. This panel features three expert views on the economy, the relationship, and the ecosystem. 

EVENT DETAILS

China is at a historical crossroads of innovation—presenting U.S. companies with a new economic reality, new rules of engagement, and most of all, new business opportunities.

Join us on Tuesday, March 8th, 4:00pm - 5:00pm PST for an exclusive virtual fireside chat with global expansion experts from the U.S. and China.

Together, we'll explore the impact of these recent trends driving change across the Chinese innovation economy, and share optimal business practices for U.S. based company expansion into Asia and vice-versa

Domestically—The economic infrastructure is transitioning from a credit-dependent model to a consumption-led one. Demographically—China's aging population is drastically shaping its economic priorities and creating new opportunities for innovators. Diplomatically—Increasingly competitive US-China relations are testing the market in new ways and influencing China's innovation sector to exponentially grow (and keep growing). But what does all of this mean for U.S. innovation companies and investors looking to do business in and/or with China?

Featured Speaker:

Janet Yang

A Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning Hollywood producer with deep roots in China, Janet Yang has worked with some of the most formidable directors and actors in the world. She came to prominence through her collaboration with Steven Spielberg on Empire of the Sun (Warner Bros). That was followed by a long partnership with multiple Academy Award-winner Oliver Stone—where she served as Executive Producer on the iconic The Joy Luck Club (Disney), and as a Producer on the Golden Globe-winning The People vs. Larry Flynt (Columbia Pictures).  

She is currently in production on an animated feature based on her original story inspired by the Chinese moon goddess. Iconic animator Glen Keane directs the movie for Netflix and Pearl Studios.  

Among her many other credits are: the Sundance award-winning Dark Matter with Meryl Streep and Chinese star, Liu Ye; The Weight of Water (Lions Gate) directed by Academy Award winner Kathryn Bigelow; Fox’s High Crimes with Morgan Freeman; a Chinese adaptation of the acclaimed Disney franchise High School Musical; and cult favorites Zero Effect, by Jake Kasdan, and Shanghai Calling with China Film Group.

Yang has been named one of the “50 Most Powerful Women in Hollywood” by the Hollywood Reporter.

Yang began her career by running the first distribution company to market Chinese films into North America. She also brokered the reintroduction of American cinema to the Chinese marketplace on behalf of several studios after a decades-long hiatus.

Committed to fostering global understanding, Yang has been a long-standing member of the Committee of 100, and an advisory board member of Asia Society Southern California where he chairs its highly regarded US-ASIA ENTERTAINMENT SUMMIT as well as its nascent AWE: Asian Women Empowered Initiative. She is also a co-founder of #GoldHouse, a leading group of Asians in tech, media and entertainment.

Yang was recently named a Governor of the Academy of Motion Pictures, and serves on a number of its committees.

[On-Demand Webinar] "Turning Crisis into Opportunity - Smart Cinema Hits Warp Speed" featuring Dr. Jack Q. Gao, Founding Partner and CEO of Smart Cinema

Turning Crisis into Opportunity - Smart Cinema Hits Warp Speed

In a world changed by COVID-19, we must innovate for a new reality. What does this look like in practice? How are businesses meeting shifts in demand?

Our next webinar, “Turning Crisis into Opportunity — Smart Cinema Hits Warp Speed, explores one company’s response. Dr. Jack Q. Gao, founding partner and CEO of Smart Cinema, will discuss how Smart Cinema quickly stepped up to serve billions amid the pandemic and offer perspective on moving forward. Join us May 27!

ON-DEMAND WEBINAR

We may not have noticed yet. The worldwide pandemic has permanently changed the world. I had a feeling when China was shutdown in last January that we can't go back to normal anymore and have to take the new ways to live. By accepting the situation for what it is and owning the solution, we may be able to control, at least, some of the outcomes more effectively. Coronavirus negatively impacted almost of all entertainment and sport businesses whose models depend upon large crowds. Tens of thousands of the movie theatres in China, with the expectation to generate $1.5 billion box-office during the Chinese New Year Golden Week, were suddenly closed and billons of the people were strictly locked inside their homes for months. I took no doubt that this crisis would considerably accelerate the consumer's lifestyle transitions from the "physical" to the "mobile" and our startup SMART CINEMA (Mobile Movie Theatre), a direct-to-consumer mobile platform devoted to exhibit theatrically released movies, should step up and play much bigger roles to serve the demands. As of today, Smart Cinema has screened almost 500 new theatrical films and extended its services from Greater China to North America and South Korea. I do like what Andy Grove said: "Bad companies are destroyed by crisis. Good companies survive them. Great companies are improved by them." and have busily been preparing for the days after Covid-19.

转危为机 - 动电影院因势利导顺势而为 

很多人也许还没有意识到,这次疫情正在地改变着世界。我们左右不了眼前的事实但需要换个明天的活法。生活中总会有不幸的事情发生。当不幸降临的时候,我们如何看待它会直接决定我们的行为。选择积极而不是消极抱怨,转危为机。“居家令”的突然到来让所有“聚集性”的文体娱乐产业陷入了被动,给电影行业带来了沉重的一击,项目搁浅影片撤档院线关闭。仅仅中国在春节假期周损失的电影票房就有近百亿人民币。毫无疑问,现在的“宅经济”一定会大幅度地加速人们的生活方式从“传统线下”到“移动线上”的转移。诞生于2018年,以智能手机为院线电影放映平台的移动电影院及时地在中国和北美推出公益观影服务,成为在疫情期间唯一全天候运营的电影院,让无数居家隔离的观众在家里通过手机或投屏和在线上亲朋好友们一起欣赏院线大片,共渡难关。到目前为止,移动电影院已经放映了近500部在院线窗口期上市的新电影。我本人特别喜欢安迪.格罗夫的名言:“面对突如其来的危机,坏的公司被摧毁了,好的公司可以生存下来,伟大的公司将因此而进一步提升。” 我们在积极地探索和尝试,准备面对疫情之后的新世界。
