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.

The EU-China Business Association, the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China, and BusinessEurope are delighted to invite you to the 'European Business in China: Position Paper 2022/2023' launch.
This Position Paper of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is the culmination of nine months of dedicated work by 41 working groups and sub-working groups and forums. This year’s Executive Position paper outlines, how over the last year, there has been a significant shift in focus at European companies' headquarters (HQs) when evaluating China.
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.

By Khurram Jamil, Co-founder & President of strategic initiatives, Area9 Lyceum
With the availability of AI-powered Adaptive Learning, we can now rethink how we want to develop our organization. For the first time, we can use technology to upskill an entire group of people and have everyone receive the personal attention they need. The need for this technology has been further accelerated by the effects of COVID-19, especially in relation to China, where travel restrictions and closed borders have caused barriers relating to knowledge transfer across borders.
In this webinar, Khurram Jamil, Co-founder & President of Strategic Initiatives at Area9 Lyceum will introduce the concept of adaptive learning for workforces and explore how this technology for example can be used to ensure that workers build adequate product knowledge. Furthermore, Khurram will go through case examples of companies where the technology is applied, such as Audi and Lockheed Martin. Starting last year, companies with teams in China can use Area9’s technology thanks to local cloud hosting and support.
Join the webinar to explore how the technology will help ensure your learning organization is ready for the next decades.
