Staying in dialogue with China: China’s policy goal of building a “unified national market” (全国统一大市场)
Date: October 30, 2026
Event: Supported Webinar
Time: 09:00–09:45 CEST
Join the upcoming “Staying in Dialogue with China” webinar on 30 October with Prof. Mingzhi Xu, Tenured Associate Professor at the Institute of New Structural Economics of Peking University (PKU) and a faculty member of the Yenching Academy.
For this session, China Macro Group focuses on China’s policy goal of building a “national unified market” (全国统一大市场), as a key issue shaping China’s political economy in 2026 based on priorities from the CCP Fourth Plenum (July 2024) and the Central Economic Work Conference in December 2025.
While the broad concept dates back several decades, it re-gained strategic importance across various iterations from 2018 (“strong domestic market” / 强大国内市场) to 2019 (“super-large scale market advantage” / 超大规模市场优势) to its eventual formalization as part of the 14th Five-Year-Plan (2021-2025) drafted in the first year of the Covid19 pandemic in 2020. After the pivotal “Third Plenum” in July 2024, we finally saw the NDRC publishing its key policy “Notice on Issuing the Guidelines for Building a Unified National Market (Trial), No. 1742” in December 2024.
More concretely, this webinar wants to discuss:
- practical issues and rationale for this policy
- policy execution: key reform actions, progress and complexities
- desired and expected impact on China’s business environment
- strategic implications for foreign business engaged in China
To discuss these questions, Markus Hermann Chen, Co-founder and Managing Director of China Macro Group will host Prof. Mingzhi Xu as guest speaker. Prof. Xu holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of California, Davis. During 2018 and 2019, he was a post-doctoral researcher at the National Bureau of Economic Research and a visiting researcher at Harvard Kennedy School (HKS), Harvard University. His research specialization includes international economics, industrial organization, economic development, consumer welfare, and infrastructure economics and financing. His research has examined topics including China’s trade liberalization, domestic sourcing, labour markets, and economic development.

European Business in China Post-2022 - The View from the Ground
Date: januar 12, 2023
Time: 10:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (CET)
Event: Supported Webinar
2022 has been a turbulent year for the EU and China. Both actors have had to deal with multiple shocks, including the war in Ukraine and the resulting energy and food security crises, economic headwinds and inflation, and an unstable geopolitical environment. In the case of China, an increasingly unsustainable zero-COVID policy and a property crisis have added to the complexities in an already politically pivotal year for the Chinese leadership, with the 20th Party Congress taking place in October. The China at the beginning of 2023 – no longer with COVID-zero and with a new leadership – is certainly very different from the China in early 2022. European companies' conversations in China now are not the same as in January 2022. Indeed, from the perspective of European companies in China, the shift in Chinese policymaking – partly as a result of these and other trends towards prioritizing ideology over the economy – has led to China's business environment becoming less predictable, reliable and efficient. Although opportunities for European companies in China remain, they must develop strategies to deal with an ever-growing list of risks stemming from geopolitical developments and emerging legislation both within and outside China.
Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from European business representatives operating on the ground in China what the key drivers behind these trends in China are and their implications for European business.

Venue: AWA Denmark A/S, Copenhagen

Why Participate?
Foreign companies are more than ever required to understand the political circumstances affecting the online marketplace in China in order to leverage the various Chinese platforms and grasp the opportunities they hold when it comes to getting in touch with Chinese consumers. Join this DCBF Signature Event to gain insights on how to navigate the increasingly regulated Chinese digital landscape and learn from case stories of successful brands on the Chinese online marketplace.
About the event
The Chinese digital landscape has developed independently from the rest of the world during the past 10 years. With its own social media-, livestreaming- and e-commerce platforms, as well as a myriad of apps and other digital tools, the Chinese online marketplace has always been a hard nut to crack. The almost complete closure of the Chinese borders has made a successful entry even harder. Furthermore, the internet and the Chinese tech giants have been under political pressure from the party and the Chinese authorities, and therefore foreign companies are required to pay attention to the political circumstances affecting the online marketplace. Nonetheless, the online ecosystem in China holds big opportunities for Danish companies.
At this DCBF Signature Event, Casper Wichmann from ThinkChina University of Copenhagen’s China-focused think tank, will talk about the possibilities the Chinese digital landscape holds regarding the Chinese consumer journey, and what to be aware of when navigating the Chinese digital market. Afterwards Niels Christian Flintholm from the China focused branding and marketing agency Leaf Digital will share his insights on how Scandinavian brands can leverage the unique Chinese online ecosystem to make successful inroads in the market. The presentation will mainly be based on Leaf Digital´s own successful cases from the Chinese market.

Join this DCBF Signature Event to gain insights on how to navigate the increasingly regulated Chinese digital landscape and learn from case stories of successful brands on the Chinese online marketplace.
About the event
The Chinese digital landscape has developed independently from the rest of the world during the past 10 years. With its own social media-, livestreaming- and e-commerce platforms, as well as a myriad of apps and other digital tools, the Chinese online marketplace has always been a hard nut to crack. The almost complete closure of the Chinese borders has made a successful entry even harder. Furthermore, the internet and the Chinese tech giants have been under political pressure from the party and the Chinese authorities, and therefore foreign companies are required to pay attention to the political circumstances affecting the online marketplace. Nonetheless, the online ecosystem in China holds big opportunities for Danish companies.
At this DCBF Signature Event, Casper Wichmann from ThinkChina University of Copenhagen’s China-focused think tank, will talk about the possibilities the Chinese digital landscape holds regarding the Chinese consumer journey, and what to be aware of when navigating the Chinese digital market. Afterwards Niels Christian Flintholm from the China focused branding and marketing agency Leaf Digital will share his insights on how Scandinavian brands can leverage the unique Chinese online ecosystem to make successful inroads in the market. The presentation will mainly be based on Leaf Digital´s own successful cases from the Chinese market.
