The quarterly Danish Businss Outlook on China (DBOC) has been released for Q2, 2025
The overall picture shows a shifting sentiment across the board with a dip from the strong start to the year. The aggregate index declined to 48.96 in Q2, down from 52.92 in Q1, indicating a softening in sentiment and a return to a negative territory.
In the recent released EUCCC Business Confidence Survey 2025, almost four in ten (38%) reported that decoupling between their China operations and their HQ has resulted in a reduced ability to capitalise on new projects or investment plans. More than one in three (36%) reported a slow-down in existing operations as a result.
When asked if respondents could agree that decoupling or reduced communication between their company’s China operations and global headquarters have impacted their ability to capitalize on new projects or investment plans more than one third agreed – similar to the results identified by the EUCCC.

The DBOC tracks changes in the short-term outlook of Danish companies doing business in China. The index is a joint initiative of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Denmark in Beijing, Danish Chamber of Commerce in China (DCCC), Danish-Chinese Business Forum (DCBF) and Sino-Danish Center for Education and Research (SDC).
