European Business in China - Business Confidence Survey 2022

Date: June 28, 2022

Event: Webinar

Danish-Chinese Business Forum (DCBF) is a member of EU-China Business Association (EUCBA) and we are pleased to invite you to this partner webinar: 

The EU-China Business Association and the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China will at this webinar focus on the results of the annual Business Confidence Survey 2022 of European Business in China. The survey was conducted by the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China.
 
Throughout 2021, the story of European business in China was one of high risks and high rewards. Revenue and profitability were positive but doing business in China also became more difficult for most companies.
 
As the rest of the world returns to a pre-pandemic level of normality — with few restrictions hampering business operations and travel — the role China played over the last two years in bolstering European companies’ global revenues looks set to diminish. 
 
At this event, European Chamber Vice President Bettina Schön-Behanzin will present the findings of this year’s survey.

Programme:

09:00-09:05: Welcome speech by Ms. Gwenn Sonck, Executive Director, EU-China Business Association

09:05-09:35: Presentation on the EUCCC Business Confidence Survey 2022 by Ms. Bettina Schön-Behanzin, Vice President, European Union Chamber of Commerce in China

09:35-09:55: Q&A Session

The Possibility of Influencing Technical Standardization Settings in China

Date: June 01, 2022

Event: Webinar

By Dr. Tim Rühlig, Research Fellow, Technology and Global Affairs Program at German Council on Foreign Relations and Associate Research Fellow, Swedish Institute for International Affairs, Marie Shou, Head of Department, and Pouline Terpager, Chief Consultant, both from Dansk Standard

There is an old saying that ”Those who owns the standards, owns the market”. It is therefore not surprising that China has made considerable efforts to increase its influence in standard setting in recent years with focus on future technologies as outlined in the CM2025 plan. We now not only have three competing systems (US, Europe and now China), in which Europe seems to lose ground, but with the further complication that Chinas approach to standardization is distinct from European and international practice. This webinar will among others cover China’s advances so far, Europe’s ambitions in this area and ends with a presentation of a foreign company’s ability to be involved in shaping technical standard setting in China. The webinar targets everyone interested in working with standards in China.

The presentation will be undertaken by Tim Rühlig, a research fellow at the German Council on foreign relations and an associate research fellow at the Swedish Institute of International Affairs, who together with the EU China Chamber of Commerce were the authors to “the shape of things to come: The Race to control - Technical Standardisation” as well as a joint presentation by Marie Skou, Head of Department and Pouline Terpager, Chief Consultant; both at Dansk Standard.
