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)
