The CCPIT develops business cooperation and exchanges with foreign countries and has long been associated with the Chinese Communist Party's united front strategy.[1][4][3] It is charged with organizing trade fairs and events in promotion of the Belt and Road Initiative.[5] In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, CCPIT was charged with issuing force majeure certificates to Chinese companies unable to meet their contractual trade obligations.[6] In September 2023, CCPIT criticized the CHIPS and Science Act.[7]
