As the world's top 500 enterprises, Guangzhou Automobile Group, has made great achievements in recent years in brand innovation, especially the GAC Trumpchi car series produced by the passenger car company. At the Detroit motor show earlier this year, Trumpchi was the first Chinese brand to join the main exhibition. The launch of the "Trumpchi" car series had great repercussions the market, a step towards promoting Chinese brands worldwide.

On April 2017, President Xi Jinping and President Trump met at Mar-a-Lago resort, reaching consensuses on creating four high-level dialogue mechanisms between China and the United States, and promoting Sino-US 100-day plan. Sino-US relations have entered a "honeymoon period", fully upgraded. How to promote the sustained, stable and sound development of Sino-US relations has been the main task of APECF for a long time. With this golden opportunity, APECF brought a Chinese national brand to the United States, a move with great strategic significance. On the recommendation of the central and local authorities, public attention has now focused on Guangzhou Automobile Group’s Trumpchi, as a national brand. APECF believes it will create a miracle.
