2021/01/01 13:24 (AmCham Taiwan) (AmCham Taiwan) TAIPEI (Taiwan News) From today (Jan. 1) the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) in Taipei will become the American Chamber of Commerce in Taiwan. According to a statement on Thursday (Dec. 31), the name change better represents the organization’s situation in that it principally deals with national government and business matters. This work is reflected in its annual Taiwan White Paper. The name change reflects the reality of both the Chamber s activities and its membership, most of whom operate throughout Taiwan, the statement read. “During our door-knocks to Washington, many were not aware that AmCham represented U.S. companies throughout Taiwan, not just in Taipei.”
