About the Flash Webinar:
Before the summer holidays officially takes a hold on us, China Macro Group (CMG) will host a flash webinar on Thursday, July 10th 2025, 9 am CEST, to discuss the “Taiwan issue” under Trump 2.0.
From declarations at The Hague NATO Summit and Taiwan President Lai’s dialed-up rhetoric to the CCP’s new concept of “integrated or fused development” of Fujian province with Taiwan, TSMC’s new investment in the US, former Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou’s track 2.0 diplomacy, and persisting PLA exercises around Taiwan:
What are the most important recent developments for European businesses doing cross-strait business?
What significance do these developments carry for the stability of cross-strait relations?
Which are the key analytical indicators to watch moving forward?
CMG Senior Advisor Frans-Paul van der Putten will moderate the webinar with Prof. Wu Yongping, Vice Dean of the School of Public Administration at Tsinghua University to provide in-depth analysis and expert perspectives on this complex and timely topic for interested participants.
This webinar will analyze and discuss key aspects of the evolving yet ever-complex “Taiwan issue” to support European and international business’ monitoring efforts and strategic decision-making regarding China and the Chinese market.

Saxo's Q2 2023 Quarterly Outlook is out now. This quarter's theme is "The Fragmentation Game", which is our term for how the world's economic blocs have lurched into realignment to secure access to energy, other vital resources, supply chains and computing power (mostly semiconductors). 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:

In the past foreign companies have shied away from litigation in China, but all this is changing as significant progress has been made throughout the judicial system. Join Ai-Leen Lim, CEO & Principal Counsel of AWA Asia in Beijing, for this webinar highlighting critical cases that showcase how foreign businesses are actively litigating in China – and often successfully.
We will cover cases detailing instances of bad-faith trademark registration, securing China’s coveted well-known trademark status, and significantly higher compensation and punitive damages overall.

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.
