Date: January 23, 2026
Event: Supported Webinar
Time: 9:00-9:45 CET - 16:00-16:45 CST
In the fifth session of the webinar series “Staying in Dialogue with China 2025/26”, Markus Herrmann Chen, Co-Founder and Managing Director, China Macro Group (CMG) will be talking to Yao Yang, Professor and Dean of the Dishuihu Advanced Finance Insitute, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, and former Dean of Peking University's national School of Development (NSD).
This dialogue with leading Chinese economist Yao Yang will discuss the "Proposition" (建议) as endorsed by the Fourth Plenum of the CCP's 20th Central Committee. Held between the 20th and 23rd of October, 2025, it defined the policy substance that is now guiding the state bureaucracy to draft the national 15th Five-Year-Plan (2026-2030).
The 15th FYP will be deliberated, formally endorsed by the National People's Congress and published in the first half of March 2026. This dialogue is primarily targeting European business to provide a clearer sense of how the Chinese market and economy as a strategic business context for international business are evolving.
Key questions that will be discussed in this dialogue include:
- What the policy slogan "investing in people" (投资于人) really means
- How the "new-quality productive forces" as industrial policy framework succeeding Made-in-China 2025 are being planned
- Will there be a stronger emphasis on China's new growth drivers such as household consumption and service
- How China can increase its Total Factor Productivity
- If China's "anti-involution" measures show momentum
- What new and proactive wordings of China's agency and goals in foreign affairs mean
- and if there will be a general policy recalibration towards less emphasis on security compared to development interests

Expansion as a Venture: How to Break into the Chinese Market. An Investor Perpsective
Date: november 02, 2021
Time: 09.00 - 10.00 (Denmark) / 16.00 - 17.00 (China)
Event: Webinar
“Expansion as a venture” means that multinationals should see themselves as a venture again when entering China. This means starting small, looking closely at the market, being entrepreneurial, adapting constantly, hedging bets, keeping the burn-rate low, moving fast etc. Basically, it means to be a young company again and to grow up in a challenging but rewarding environment. Seeing “Expansion as a venture” is simple in theory, but hard in practice. At LvS Partners, they apply this approach in the pre- and post-investment expansion of their portfolio companies (their value-added strategy). In this webinar they will share some of their experiences and are open to discuss expansion strategies contemplated by the participants.
