Global Trading Solutions Company Holds Key

to Trillion Dollar Marketplace

China's imminent accession into the World Trade Organization signals an unprecedented opportunity

ecommUSA, a global trading solutions provider, is the only online company poised to empower businesses to participate in this projected trillion dollar marketplace.

The key to reaping the economic rewards of the WTO's newest member nation lies at the heart of Silicon Valley -- with Internet-based, technological infrastructure companies such as ecommUSA.

Dr. Min-Yu Hsueh, president of San Jose-based ecommUSA, shared his vision with Silicon Valley business leaders today during "National Conversation with the Chinese Ambassador," a business forum held at the San Jose Hilton & Towers.

The Forum, organized by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the San Jose Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce, honored Chinese Ambassador to the United States, Li Zhaoxing.

"Right now, the main obstacles hindering Chinese businesses from realizing their potential to engage in world trade is lack of access and lack of tools," Dr. Hsueh said. "ecommUSA's broad-based global trading network enables efficient, secure trading by combining our expertise in global trade with proprietary Internet technology."

ecommUSA's understanding of China's unique business climate and e- commerce system requirements give the company a distinct advantage for acting as the gateway for other companies interested in trading with China, Hsueh added.

Ambassador Li met with ecommUSA executives at their Silicon Valley headquarters on Wednesday, January 17.
