Hiring, retaining, firing: HR best practices in China

Date: October 14, 2026

Event: Supported Webinar

Time: 10:00–11:30 CEST

renewable-energy

Understanding how to recruit the right people, manage a team and terminate contracts is as crucial in China as it is anywhere else. This knowledge is key not only because of the peculiarities of China’s human resources and labour regulations, but also, in the case of European SMEs with operations in China, because of the distance between headquarters and the local team.

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.


Date: 14 October, 2026 
Time: 10:00–11:30 CEST

This information session is open, free of charge, to all European SMEs and other stakeholders of the EU SME Centre, including business support organisations and trade promotion organisations, as well as public institutions from EU Member States and countries participating in the Single Market Programme

"Staying in Dialogue with China", 5th ed: 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:

renewable-energy

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.

Rebalancing Your China Strategy

Exclusive conference - by invitation only

INTRODUCTION
Multinational companies operate in an increasingly volatile geopolitical world characterized notably by systemic rivalry between China and the West and by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The world seems to be heading towards polarization between liberal democracies lead by USA and authoritarian regimes lead by China at a time when the world’s largest challenges (climate change and biodiversity crisis) require global solutions.

The economic outlook is clouded with uncertainty on the backdrop of the global COVID pandemic causing havoc with global supply chains and triggering inflationary pressures.

Board rooms are faced with new dilemmas and challenges as witnessed by quite a number of Danish companies in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion into Ukraine.

How do Danish companies navigate in a New World Order, notably vis-à-vis China? China is today Denmark’s 3rd largest export market for goods and services when including indirect exports and is poised to become the world’s largest economy.

Is there a need to rebalance your China strategy?


WHY PARTICIPATE
It is increasingly important for Danish companies to understand the drivers, dynamics, and implications of the New World Order to ensure that the strategy is optimally designed in terms of robustness and agility. This conference will provide directors and executives with the means to discuss and share insights and perspectives on how best to respond to these challenges.

By prioritizing ideology over economic concerns, China's business environment is becoming less predictable, reliable and efficient. While opportunities for European companies remain, they must now develop strategies to deal with an ever-growing list of risks stemming from both emerging legislation—within and outside of China—and geopolitical developments. Join us to understand the key drivers behind these trends and their implications for European business.
