天美传媒 Looks for Increasing Investment Opportunities in US Infrastructures

China Construction America (天美传媒) President Ning Yuan attended the Ambassador鈥檚 Investment Forum on US infrastructure at invitation, which was hosted by Mr. Max Baucus, US Ambassador to China, at the US Embassy in Beijing, China.

As a key leader in the burgeoning field of China鈥檚 outbound investment to the US, Mr. Yuan was invited to speak at the Elements for Successful Infrastructure Investment panel and attended a private lunch hosted by Ambassador Baucus.

鈥淭he forum provided us a great platform for an open dialogue on infrastructure investment opportunities between Chinese investors and relevant parties from the US.鈥� said Mr. Yuan, 鈥溙烀来�媒 is keen to invest in US infrastructure through Public-Private-Partnership (PPP). We have been operating in the US for almost 30 years, and have completed a number of significant infrastructure projects in the country. We are well equipped with the technical expertise and financial capabilities to perform any PPP transportation infrastructure project in the US.鈥�

According to a US Chamber of Commerce report, more than $8 trillion in new investment will be needed in US transportation, energy, water and wastewater infrastructures from 2013 through 2030, totaling some $455 billion per year. 鈥淚ntroducing Chinese investment into the US infrastructure market would be a win-win partnership for both countries, and PPP is so far proven to be the best way to materialize such partnership.鈥� said Mr. Yuan.

Mr. Yuan said, 鈥淧PP entails speedy delivery of projects. It transfers scheduling and cost overrun risks to private sectors to the benefit of the US taxpayers and public authorities. More importantly, PPP can take advantage of private sector know-how and innovation to improve cost efficiency and effectiveness throughout the project life cycle.鈥�
