China City of America

China City of America is a multi-phased construction project planned for the town of Thompson, Sullivan County, in the Catskill Mountains region of the U.S. state of New York. In December 2011, China City LLC applied to be a USCIS recognized EB-5 visa Regional Center, but the business was never approved. In 2013, China City America presented its idea to build a Chinese theme park, hotel, and casino for an estimated $6 billion. The town of Thompson declined to approve the project. The project stalled and its CEO, Sherry Xue Li, was arrested in 2022.

The current project, Thompson Education Center (TEC), is a proposed for-profit college for foreign students, situated in a 573-acre parcel which borders a state-protected wetland.
