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.

In this webinar, we will delve into the critical aspects of China’s Cybersecurity Law (CSL) and the China Cybersecurity Classified Protection System (CCPS – formerly known as MLPS)
China’s CCPS is a comprehensive regulatory framework designed to safeguard critical information infrastructure and ensure cybersecurity compliance. It is essential for businesses and organizations operating in China to understand and navigate the complexities of CCPS to protect their operations and reputation effectively. Furthermore, CCPS is a mandatory framework that must be enforced by every company with some companies (CIIO) required to be certified.
Join this webinar with Maxime Oliva, Co-founder and CEO of TEKID, where we will explore the latest developments in China’s cybersecurity landscape. You will gain a deeper understanding of the legal obligations, industry best practices and implementation strategies, and you will be equipped to navigate the CCPS effectively and ensure the resilience and compliance of your critical information systems.

Over the past few years, China has imposed some restrictions on cross-border data transfers. Like the European Commision, the Chinese regulators have recently issued a standard Contract for Personal Information Exports (the Chinese "SCCs"). Qualified companies will need to sign the SCCs, conduct an impact assessment, and file with the Chinese regulators by 30 November 2023. It is important for companies that operate in China to take compliance actions as soon as possible to avoid legal consequences.
In this webinar, our speaker, Samuel Yang, Partner at AnJie Broad Law Firm, will introduce all that you need to know about the SCCs, including:

The digital landscape in China differs significantly for B2B compared to other markets. Moreover, the pandemic has brought about substantial changes, accelerating the digital transformation with B2B in China over recent years. As a result, this now demands a fresh understanding of the right marketing channels for communicating with potential Chinese customers.
The sales process has become more digital, providing increased opportunities to find new customers in China through digital platforms. Consequently, the significance of visibility and crontrolling howyour company and its products/services are presented has grown and, at the same time, become more challenging. This is because everything digital needs to be tailored for China, in China.
If you want to learn more about China's new digital landscape and the opportunities for your company to enhance its visibility, join our webinar where the speakers from NBH will provide an overview of the digital landscape in China and how business opportunities can leverage digital channels to create business opportunities.

The recent investigation of consulting and advisory firms, appearing to be part of an anti-spy campaign, have unsettled the foreign business community in the country and hit the Western media headlines. The campaign seemingly well-timed with the adoption of the revised Anti-Espionage Law on April 26, 2023 provided fodder for the "de-risking" debate.
In this engaging 1-hour webinar we will provide insights around the new law and suggestions from both macro and micro perspectives on foreign business in China. At the end of the webinar, there will be a live Q&A, that will give you the opportunity to ask more in-depth questions.

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.

14h30-15h00: Registration and networking
