One of USTDA’s primary goals in China is to take bilateral policies and move them toward implementation. For example, at the 2016 U.S.-China Strategic & Economic Dialogue in Beijing, USTDA announced several new activities that promote public-private collaboration to address climate change. One initiative will reduce emissions from seaports in China while another will demonstrate big data technologies for smarter grids and greater integration of renewable energy. The Agency’s success in China is due in part to the publicprivate Cooperation Programs that are the hallmark of USTDA’s programs in country. These programs provide a forum for government agencies and private companies from both countries can share technical, policy, and commercial knowledge relevant to a specific field.
