During this meeting, Dr. Ioana Kraft, General Manager of the European Chamber Shanghai Chapter introduced the Chamber’s structure, working groups and three publications – Business Confidence Survey, China Manufacturing 2025 and Shanghai Position Paper – to Mr. Wang Zhan, President of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences.
