First introduced at a politburo meeting in May, the new ‘dual circulation’ strategy (DCS) has immediately become a buzzword and been widely discussed both home and abroad. The strategy envisions a new economic development mode by relying less on global integration and expanding domestic reliance.

2020年5月，中共中央政治局常委会会议首次提出“构建国内国际双循环相互促进的新发展格局（双循环）”战略。“双循环”战略，旨在 “逐步形成以国内大循环为主体、国内国际双循环相互促进的新发展格局”，在全球经济波动、不稳定因素增加的大背景下，提高国内经济的弹性和自给自足的能力，在刺激内需的同时，继续吸引外资，稳定国际贸易。“双循环”战略的提出，引起海内外的密切注和广泛讨论。

Investment in the fintech sector has remained strong even in the face of turmoil and volatility in global markets and despite macroeconomic concerns. Demand for fintech innovations by financial institutions has continued to grow.

FinTech can bring numerous benefits to both consumers and businesses. . Fintech has grown for several reasons: changes in expectations about financial services and consumer behaviour; a more affordable infrastructure spurred by Artificial Intelligence (AI), big data and cloud computing; digital currencies and mobile technologies and their effect on reducing barriers to entry to the financial services industry. Fintech, thus, has continued to transform the global financial landscape. On the other hand, FinTech innovations can pose risk for consumers and businesses, with the increasing need of protecting the privacy of customers’ information in an online environment.

In this context, China has been at the forefront of the industry’s growth. China is the largest fintech market in the world, in 2018 it accounted for 46% of all fintech investments globally. China had the right conditions to promote this incredible development: traditional banking systems were not well-developed and the regulatory environment was far less constraining towards fintech businesses. These two factors combined boosted the industry in China.

The European Chamber is pleased to invite renown experts of the industry to offer insights, trend analysis and predictions for the evolution of the sector, as well lessons to be learnt from the Chinese model. We welcome Dr. Bonnie Buchanan, Head of Department of Finance and Accounting, Professor of Finance, University of Surrey (United Kingdom), Michael Moon, Managing Director, Payments & Trade Markets, Asia Pacific, SWIFT, Piyush Singh, Managing Director, Head of Financial Services Asia Pacific and Africa, Accenture, and Diego Garcia Fernandez, Head of Business Development Alipay Spain Wallet. and David Wen, Professor at the International Business School at Zhejiang University. Join us Thursday 3rd September, 4:00am-5:15pm (GMT+8) online via Zoom.

This event is cancelled.
For multinational corporations operating in China, repatriating cash from their subsidiaries has always been an important but challenging issue. China maintains a strict system of foreign exchange controls, meaning funds flowing into and out of China are tightly regulated.
Further, depending on the bilateral Double Taxation Agreements between China and the contracting country where the foreign parent company is located, generating income in China has tax implications which might affect the overall tax burden of both the China-based subsidiary company and the foreign parent company.
