Hiring, retaining, firing: HR best practices in China
Date: October 14, 2026
Event: Supported Webinar
Time: 10:00–11:30 CEST
Understanding how to recruit the right people, manage a team and terminate contracts is as crucial in China as it is anywhere else. This knowledge is key not only because of the peculiarities of China’s human resources and labour regulations, but also, in the case of European SMEs with operations in China, because of the distance between headquarters and the local team.
On 14 October, the EU SME Centre and European Union Chamber of Commerce in China are organising a workshop in Beijing and online to share information on HR best practices with experts.
Date: 14 October, 2026
Time: 10:00–11:30 CEST
Location: Beijing & Online

This information session is open, free of charge, to all European SMEs and other stakeholders of the EU SME Centre, including business support organisations and trade promotion organisations, as well as public institutions from EU Member States and countries participating in the Single Market Programme
"Staying in Dialogue with China", 5th ed: 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:
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.

China has most recently sailed up to a top position within FDI. But how are Danish MNCs handling M&As in China and what differentiates the Chinese market from other markets? How are the targets localized and what advantages are there versus organic growth? What are the most common pitfalls and difficulties and what attracts a Chinese mid-market company to sell to a Danish corporate? How does the IPO vs M&A trend look like in the Chinese market?
We have invited Klaus Björkgren, Tony Wang and Sean Ni from Nordic Match to elaborate on these questions and to cover partnerships and Joint Ventures in China. With a mission to promote Sino-Nordic trade and investment, they provide advice to several of the Nordic MNCs for inbound M&As to China, and share their deep understanding of the market and local needs, ranging from idea generation to post transaction services.

Aldo Spaanjaars, Owner of Dragon Strategies, together with Sandrine Zerbib, President of BAOZUN Brand Management & BAOZUN Europe, has co-authored the intriguing book "Dragon Tactics: How Chinese Entrepreneurs Thrive in Uncertainty" (2022), which presents a potent mix of China's four-thousand-year-old history, and management methods that borrow as much from Confucianism as from new technologies.

China’s Concepts and Aspirations for a Multipolar World
Date: juni 09, 2023
Time: 9:00-09:45 a.m. DK / 3:00-3:45 p.m. CN
Event: Supported Webinar
Speaker: Jia Qingguo, Member, Standing Committee of the 11th National Committee of the CPPCC (2008-2013); Member, Standing Committee of the Central Committee of China Democratic League; Former Dean, School of International Studies, Peking University, Beijing, China.
Under Deng Xiaoping, Beijing adhered to the maxim to “hide your strength and bide your time” in foreign affairs, seeking to ensure an international environment conducive to its own development with less active involvement in global politics. First in 2016 in a study session and then in 2018 in a foreign affairs working meeting, Xi laid out his new direction for China’s role in global affairs to “lead the reform of global governance” (引领全球治理体系改革). Reflective of this growing sense of global responsibility and clout, China has been (co-)driving a number of initiatives to reshape the existing US-led international order towards a world order conceived of as a “community with a shared future for mankind” (人类命运共同体), among them the BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), or the latest three initiatives of the Global Development Initiative (GDI), the Global Security Initiative (GSI), and the Global Civilization Initiative (GSI). How does Beijing understand the current world order and multipolarity? What roles and options are there for China in a world where it sees a “rising East and a declining West”? How, and with whom does it intend to reshape post-1945 institutions? And what could this mean for global cooperation and economic globalization? Beyond the key global trading blocs, how does China look at ASEAN, the Middle East, India or Africa?
'Staying in Dialogue with China' is organized and hosted by the Stein am Rhein Symposium (stars) in cooperation with China Macro Group (CMG), The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China (EUCCC), Swiss Chinese Chamber of Commerce (SCCC), Danish-Chinese Business Forum (DCBF), SwissCham China, Danish Chamber of Commerce Hong Kong (DCCHK), China Europe International Business School (CEIBS and China Netzwerk Baden-Württemberg (CNBW)

Date: maj 26, 2023

The Chinese Value Chain Network is a newly established partnership, that intends to use its shared strengths and abilities to create a platform which will enable Danish companies across industries to obtain greater knowledge on value chain matters on the Chinese market. It is a collaboration between the Trade Council China, Erhvervshus Hovedstaden/Bæredygtige Værdikæder, Danish Export Association, Danish-Chinese Business Forum, Danish Chamber of Commerce in China, Ethical Trade Denmark, and UN Global Compact Network Denmark.
The partnership aims to help Danish companies in mitigating risks in the value chain as well as ensuring their future ability to comply with growing international demands for green and sustainable value chain standards, but also to align with core values including labor rights.

The session will cover advice on how to navigate new EU directives and compliance with international standards, as well as feature insights on best practices for due diligence work, finding sustainable suppliers in China, and how to mitigate risks.
