Staying in dialogue with China: 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: 09:00–09:45 CEST
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.

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.

14h30-15h00: Registration and networking

China as an M&A Market for Danish Companies

Event: Webinar

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’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)

China as an M&A Market for Danish Companies
Date: June 20, 2023
Event: Webinar
Click here to register (for DCBF, DCCC and DCCHK members only).
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.

Dragon Tactics: Why Chinese Entrepreneurs Manage Differently and What Can Be Learned from It?
Date: June 13, 2023
Event: Webinar
Click here to register (for DCBF, DCCC and DCCHK members only).
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.
In this webinar, they will explore a unique apporach to business by analysing everything from the unexpected philosophies of Chinese leaders on competition, risk, profit, and failure to the role of family, which define the cultural spirit of a wolf pack: its observation skills, its respect of the leader's authority, its embrace of flexibillity, and more.
Opening remarks by Jesper Halle, Commercial Consul, Danish Consulate General, Shanghai.

China’s Concepts and Aspirations for a Multipolar World
Date: June 09, 2023
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)
