Managing Financial, Operational and Digital Communications
Date: June 17, 2025
Event: Conference
Time: 14:00-16:00 CET
Danish-Chinese Business Forum invites you to the opening event of a high-level seminar series on risk management.
About the event
As Danish companies evaluate the risks of operating in - and staying out of - China, this hybrid seminar will address critical aspects of financial, operational, and digital risk.
Attend in person in Aarhus, or join us online, to explore how communication structures can be strengthened to improve risk management, data security and corporate accountability.
The event is relevant for all professionals across sectors navigating organizational or multinational risk exposure in China.
Our speakers will present practical insights backed by experience and actionable case studies illustrating how inadequate operational systems and informal communication can result in data loss and ownership issues, and how supply chain audits can lead to improved compliance, alongside other examples.
For the first event at Arla Foods in Aarhus, we are pleased to welcome three expert speakers with firsthand experience in managing risk in China:
- Yael Farjun, China Deputy GM, PTL Group - “Mitigating Human and Financial Risks for Multinationals Operating in China.”
- Søren B. Jensen, Managing Director, Mictory Ltd. - “Visualizing Operational Risk for Strategic Clarity.”
- Niels Christian Flintholm, Partner, Leaf Digital - “De-risking Digital Communication.”

About the Webinar
Amid China’s continuously difficult post-Covid economic recovery as well as persisting structural issues such as the real estate market, industrial overcapacity and local government debt, this webinar deliberately takes the “long view”, providing a 10-year outlook and imagining China in 2035 as the next key modernization milestone – the mid-term goal announced as part of the 14th Five-Year-Plan in March 2021. This has been only the second time a regular Five-Year-Plan takes a planning horizon beyond the regular five years, the previous one being the 6th Five-Year-Plan (1981-1985) which proposed goals for the four ensuing Five-Year-Plan periods until the end of the century with the goal of quadrupling China’s GDP.
By 2035, and by accomplishing the goals of the 15th and 16th Five-Year-Plans, Chinese planners seek to achieve the “basic socialist modernization” (基本实现社会主义现代化), which in its core wants to – again – double China’s GDP, over the period from 2020 to 2035, which assumes a sustained year-on-year average real growth of 4.7% GDP, plus increase the share of China’s middle income group from 35% to 50% as some of its most important policy goals.
The following key questions will be explored:
- How to understand current economic difficulties when seen from a long-term planning and structural reform perspective?
- In hindsight, how «radical» were the decisions adopted by the CCP’s “Third Plenum” in July 2024?
- Which parts of the 14th Five-Year-Plan have been most effectively implemented when measured against the respective ambition level?
- How should foreign business take into account a policy planning goal for 2035?
- What are the key “make-or-break” reforms to achieve the 2035 goal such as China’s demographic transition?
- NDRC stresses that “changes unseen in a century” must be duly considered in long-term planning, what long-term scenario(s) do planners use?
- What are key policy shifts and changes to be expected by the upcoming 15th Five-Year-Plan?
- Referring to the 20 KPIs of the 14th Five-Year-Plan, what new set of KPIs will be the “right” ones to help guide development up to 2035?
- What role do governmental research versus societal inputs (e.g. the citizen issue collection, 政民互动问题征集) play in long-term planning?
Take the opportunity to listen in and ask your questions to Vice-Dean Zhang Dandan.

Meanwhile, the banking sector turmoil at the end of Q2 has brought risks of a credit crunch and a sharp increase in the probability of a recession in the developed economies this year.
Join our Q2 2023 quarterly outlook webinar, hosted by Redmond Wong, Market Strategist at Saxo Markets Hong Kong, to explore the investment implications of the secular trend of fragmentation and the latest development in the market. Highlights of the discussion will include:
- Bonds & FX: What happens when a tightening cycle ends before inflation is defeated?
- Equities. Fragmentation and banking crisis mean pain, but also opportunities
- Commodities: Caught between a slowdown in US and Europe and recovery in China demand
After the presentation, please stay for a live Q&A session!

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.

Post-Covid China and Foreign Business - Quo Vadis?
Date: February 24, 2023
Time: 09:00-09:45 CET
Event: Supported Webinar
This webinar is part of the webinar series 'Staying in Dialogue with China'. The series will bring you six webinars with China-based experts, concentrated on H1, between February and June 2023.
'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) and SwissCham China.
At this first session, stars Foundation Board Member Markus Hermann, Managing Director at China Macro Group, will be talking to Joerg Wuttke, President, European Union Chamber of Commerce in China ; Member, stars International Board, Beijing, about China’s economy post-Covid.
With 3%, the country in 2022 recorded the worst economic performance since 1976 – with the exception of 2020, the year Covid hit the world. A strict “zero Covid” policy that at times had put metropolitan regions that account for up to 40% of China’s GDP under lockdown, an international environment dampened by Russia’s unjustified war in Ukraine and global protectionist tendencies, as well as domestic regulatory measures – most notably in real estate – have dealt a heavy blow to the second largest economy in the world.
Now, with Covid restrictions lifted, businesses and investors wonder what 2023 might have in store, and how the Chinese economy will fare beyond 2023. Can we expect a quick recovery on the back of so-called revenge spending by consumers largely contained to their homes in 2022? Does the Chinese government manage to restore confidence among consumers and businesses and stabilize capital and real estate markets? And what do these trends and developments mean for foreign businesses and their China strategies?
Kindly note that all webinars of this series are held under Chatham House Rules and will not be recorded.

- New regulations, such as carbon pricing & demands for energy efficiency in new builds.
- Shifting customer demands that focus on global commitments to emission reduction.
- Reporting on supply chain emissions due to EU regulations.
- Potential market opportunities for emission reducing technologies.
- Young talents may increasingly wish to work on sustainability related issues, or within companies with good sustainability profile

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.

Post-Covid China and Foreign Business - Quo Vadis?
Date: February 24, 2023
Event: Supported Webinar
This webinar is part of the webinar series 'Staying in Dialogue with China'. The series will bring you six webinars with China-based experts, concentrated on H1, between February and June 2023.
'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) and SwissCham China.
At this first session, stars Foundation Board Member Markus Hermann, Managing Director at China Macro Group, will be talking to Joerg Wuttke, President, European Union Chamber of Commerce in China ; Member, stars International Board, Beijing, about China’s economy post-Covid.
With 3%, the country in 2022 recorded the worst economic performance since 1976 – with the exception of 2020, the year Covid hit the world. A strict “zero Covid” policy that at times had put metropolitan regions that account for up to 40% of China’s GDP under lockdown, an international environment dampened by Russia’s unjustified war in Ukraine and global protectionist tendencies, as well as domestic regulatory measures – most notably in real estate – have dealt a heavy blow to the second largest economy in the world.
Now, with Covid restrictions lifted, businesses and investors wonder what 2023 might have in store, and how the Chinese economy will fare beyond 2023. Can we expect a quick recovery on the back of so-called revenge spending by consumers largely contained to their homes in 2022? Does the Chinese government manage to restore confidence among consumers and businesses and stabilize capital and real estate markets? And what do these trends and developments mean for foreign businesses and their China strategies?
Kindly note that all webinars of this series are held under Chatham House Rules and will not be recorded.

Greener Together: China-Nordic Dialogue on Carbon Neutrality Part 4
Date: February 16, 2023
Event: Supported Webinar
PART 4 OF THE "GREENER TOGETHER" WEBINAR SERIES
This webinar is a part of the 'Greener Together: China-Nordic Dialogue on Carbon Neutrality' campaign organised in collaboration with the Norwegian Business Association and FinnCham, and supported by the Danish-Chinese Business Forum in Denmark.
Over the recent years, reducing carbon emissions has become the main sustainability issue (both for governments and for companies), globally and in China. China has set ambitious targets with peak carbon emissions in 2030 and carbon neutrality in 2060
These targets will have large impact on companies, some of these impacts may be:
- New regulations, such as carbon pricing & demands for energy efficiency in new builds.
- Shifting customer demands that focus on global commitments to emission reduction.
- Reporting on supply chain emissions due to EU regulations.
- Potential market opportunities for emission reducing technologies.
- Young talents may increasingly wish to work on sustainability related issues, or within companies with good sustainability profile
