Advertising in the ABI guidebook is recommended for any American company serious about doing business in China. As the only officially sanctioned publication of its kind, ABI reaches more key decision-makers than any other reference source in the People's Republic of China. Its pass along value exceeds two million readers' impressions.

ABI provides American companies with the opportunity to present their name, image, products and services to the widest possible range of Chinese industrial enterprises, foreign trade corporations, research institutes, colleges and universities and public libraries.

Similar to the listing of company names, any advertisements featured in our printed version will be automatically added into our Web version as well as CD-ROM version.
