The establishment of the Tianjin representative office is another significant milestone for AIG, opening up a range of investment opportunities in a burgeoning market. We appreciate the support of the Tianjin government in the establishment of the representative office, and look forward to being able to contribute to the continued economic growth and success of Tianjin and China.”
