About the Webinar

Against the backdrop of a years-long corporate localization trend in China, a surprising shift is unfolding across global businesses.

Danish Industry (DI) under Sense China, and Danish Chamber of Commerce in China, invites you to decode this pivotal talent trend and gain actionable industry insights.

A recent surge in hiring foreign managers and specialists for positions in China has caught widespread attention. The development comes at the back of a decade-long localization wave, which has seen foreigners being replaced with Chinese executives.

Why is it happening now? Is it a temporary development, or does it signal a bigger change in how international companies approach the Chinese market? When should a company consider localizing their China leadership team and when does a foreign decision-maker makes sense?

In this webinar, HR expert Miriam Wickertsheim, General Manager, DirectHR, explains how hiring practices are evolving across Chinese industries. Miriam also offers strategic insights and practical advice on what companies should keep in mind when recruiting for jobs in China.

About the Webinar

Cross-border e-commerce can allow European SMEs to introduce their products faster to the Chinese market, with lower costs, and potentially to sell products otherwise not allowed for import via general trade, such as certain F&B categories that require government protocols. Furthermore, goods imported into China via CBEC enjoy preferential tax rates.

On 16 April, the EU SME Centre and the China-Italy Chamber of Commerce invite you to our new webinar on China’s e-commerce options for companies selling to China from abroad. This information session will present how to open and run an e-store on the JD ecosystem. The keynote presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.

European Business in China Business Conference Survey Banner

European Business in China: Business Confidence Survey

Date: June 29, 2023

Time: 15:00 - 16:15 (CEST)

Event: Other


The EU-China Business Association, BusinessEurope and the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China are pleased to invite you to join this hybrid conference of the European Chamber’s annual Business Confidence Survey, where Mr Jens Eskelund, European Chamber President, will share the key findings of this year’s survey outlining European business sentiment in China.

Venue
Online and Adenauer Room, BusinessEurope, Avenue de Cortenbergh 168, 1000 Brussels

Background
Since China ended its ‘zero-COVID’ strategy, Chinese officials have been on a charm offensive in an attempt to restore the country’s allure as an investment destination. However, more will need to be done if China is to successfully reverse the deterioration of business sentiment that has taken place over the past three years.

European companies have already begun shifting investments overseas and, faced with growing risks and a more volatile operating environment, many have adjusted their investment and operational strategies. There is now an increased focus on making operations more durable — for example, through localisation or diversification of supply chains — as opposed to capturing market share. With China’s economy facing numerous headwinds, this trend appears set to continue at least into the medium-term.

Agenda
14h30-15h00: Registration and networking
15h00-15h05: Welcome and introduction
                         Mrs Luisa Santos, Deputy Director General, BusinessEurope
15h05-15h15: Opening remarks
                         Ms Gwenn Sonck, Executive Director, EU-China Business Association
15h15-15h50: Presentation of the EUCCC Business Confidence Survey
                         Mr Jens Eskelund, Chairman, European Union Chamber of Commerce in China
15h50-16h15: Discussion and Q&A,

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.

China Business Dialogue Webinar Series

China’s Concepts and Aspirations for a Multipolar World

Date: June 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)

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)
