CBN is honored to have been selected by each of these Associations to organize and operate China Study Missions for their members. Study Missions enable metalworking executives to gain first-hand knowledge about the opportunities and challenges China poses for their industrial sector. Goals of these association-sponsored China study missions are to learn about China’s culture, people, economy, government, and business operations; visit a cross section of Chinese manufacturers to improve strategic understanding of Chinese manufacturing capabilities; and, to share, discuss and, ultimately, better comprehend the challenges and opportunities China offers Western manufacturers by experiencing them first-hand with fellow association members.
