European business in China: Position Paper 2026/2027
Date: November 25, 2026
Event: Partner Event
Time: 10:00-11:00 CEST
The Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce (FCCC) and the EU–China Business Association (EUCBA) have the pleasure of inviting to the webinar "European Business in China: Position Paper 2026/2027".
The European Business in China Position Paper 2026/2027, published by the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China, highlights the main challenges facing European companies operating in China and presents recommendations to the Chinese Government aimed at improving the country's business environment.
As China enters its 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026–2030), the country is focusing on achieving sustainable, high-quality economic growth and strengthening its position in the global economy.
At the same time, China's role is evolving for many multinational companies. Its appeal increasingly lies not only in the size of its market, but also in its world-leading supply chains and industrial clusters. As Chinese operations become more integrated into global production, companies are shifting from ‘in China for China’ to ‘in China for the world’.
Join the webinar to hear about the key challenges faced both by businesses and China’s economy more broadly, and the Chamber’s recommendations on the steps that could be taken to overcome them.

Have your ever felt puzzled about by the behavior of a global colleague and thought something along the lines of: Why didn’t they say no if they meant no? Why didn’t they say that they couldn’t meet the agreed deadline? Why didn’t they just say it like it is???
The explanation is most likely that they actually did say this! They just said it in a different way than what you’re used to.
If you want to avoid ending up in these kinds of situations in the future, the first step is to become aware of how you and your global colleagues typically prefer to communicate.
During the short webinar I’ll introduce you to the term ‘Low-high context communication’ and by using many real-life-examples and cases we will take our departure point in the difference btw DK and CN communication and you will walk away with insight and a few practical things to do and not to do to maximize your output in your cross-cultural communication.
