"Domestic Demand System"

Date: December 10, 2024

Event: Supported Webinar

Time: 09:00-09:45 am (DK) / 03:00-03:45 pm (CN)

renewable-energy

This webinar is part of the webinar series 'Staying in Dialogue with China'. The series will bring you six webinars with distinguished China-based experts, concentrated between April and October 2024.

'Staying in Dialogue with China' is organized and hosted by China Macro Group (CMG), with Caixin Global as Anchor Partner, in cooperation with the China Europe International Business School (CEIBS), Chinaforum Bayern, Swissmem, the Swiss Chinese Chamber of Commerce (SCCC), the Danish-Chinese Business Forum (DCBF), SwissCham China, the Stein  am Rhein Symposium (stars), and the Sweden-China Trade Council (SCTC).

In the sixth and last session of the 2024 webinar series "Staying in Dialogue with China", Markus Hermann, Co-Founder and Managing Director, China Macro Group (CMG) will be talking to Prof. Xu Qiyuan, Deputy Director, Institute of Wolrd Economics and Politics (IWEP) at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), about China's "Domestic Demand System" as the sixth structural transition as per CMG's conceptual framework of China's political economy.

The topic of “domestic demand system” refers to China’s attempt to pivot to more consumption-oriented economic growth, while reducing its reliance on fixed asset investments and the trade surplus – a legacy from Beijing’s export-oriented growth model. China should rely more on domestic demand to drive economic growth, thus, in a state of an overall elevated level of marketization, household consumption should shape supply of services and production more strongly.

Against the backdrop of the Covid pandemic, it remained unclear how much policy emphasis would be placed on the building of “domestic demand system”. In China’s short-term policy goals over the past five years, the “demand side” received primary policy focus only once, during the Central Economic Work Conference (CEWC) in 2022, whereas the three preceding years as well as the 2023 CEWC all consistently prioritized the “supply side”, or the goal of achieving the so-called “modernized industrial system” over the “demand side”.

Notably, the new reform plan released during the latest Third Plenum also placed “domestic demand system” at a strategically lower position than the supply side. Nonetheless, it should not be ignored that the State Council published a comprehensive blueprint for “Domestic Demand Expansion Strategy” in December 2022, unifying diverse policy areas ranging from trade, to digital and urbanization into one overarching framework.

The bottom-line is that among the six structural transitions, CMG’s assessment concludes that the “domestic demand system” has seen comparatively least progress compared to the 18th Central Committee’s Third Plenum in 2013, as evidenced by the still very low household consumption as share of GDP of about 40% only.

Key questions CMG want to discuss with Prof. Xu in this coming webinar include:

  • What exactly is a "domestic demand system" in the thinking of Chinese policymakers?
  • How are "supply" vs "demand" side each seen strategically by the Chinese leadership?
  • Are there structural levers or quick-wins to unleash more domestic demand to urgently and effectively revitalize the economy?
  • What is the role of China's social security system to help unleash the domestic demand?
  • What is the link between demand boost and "common prosperity"?

Understanding & Navigating the Chinese Digital Landscape

Date: December 02, 2022

Time: Time: 9:00 – 10:30 CET (Registration from 8:30)

Event: Signature Event


Venue:  AWA Denmark A/S, Copenhagen

Click here to register (DCBF-members only)

Why Participate?

Foreign companies are more than ever required to understand the political circumstances affecting the online marketplace in China in order to leverage the various Chinese platforms and grasp the opportunities they hold when it comes to getting in touch with Chinese consumers. Join this DCBF Signature Event to gain insights on how to navigate the increasingly regulated Chinese digital landscape and learn from case stories of successful brands on the Chinese online marketplace.

About the event

The Chinese digital landscape has developed independently from the rest of the world during the past 10 years. With its own social media-, livestreaming- and e-commerce platforms, as well as a myriad of apps and other digital tools, the Chinese online marketplace has always been a hard nut to crack. The almost complete closure of the Chinese borders has made a successful entry even harder. Furthermore, the internet and the Chinese tech giants have been under political pressure from the party and the Chinese authorities, and therefore foreign companies are required to pay attention to the political circumstances affecting the online marketplace. Nonetheless, the online ecosystem in China holds big opportunities for Danish companies.

At this DCBF Signature Event, Casper Wichmann from ThinkChina University of Copenhagen’s China-focused think tank, will talk about the possibilities the Chinese digital landscape holds regarding the Chinese consumer journey, and what to be aware of when navigating the Chinese digital market. Afterwards Niels Christian Flintholm from the China focused branding and marketing agency Leaf Digital will share his insights on how Scandinavian brands can leverage the unique Chinese online ecosystem to make successful inroads in the market. The presentation will mainly be based on Leaf Digital´s own successful cases from the Chinese market.

Time: 8.00-10.00 AM (CET)

Event: Conference


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.
