Does your enterprise transport dangerous good in China? Are you involved in hazardous management, EHS management, tracking of legal requirements or logistics for hazardous good?

We are delighted to invite you to attend our upcoming joint working group meeting on the safety of dangerous goods transport by road on 24th November, 14:00 – 17:30.

China’s transport ministry – along with five other ministries – published measures governing the safe transport of dangerous goods by road, which came into force on 1 January 2020. Currently, the transport of some disinfectants, perfumes and other small products containing chemicals, such as aerosols and chemical reagents, must be transported by specialist vehicles designed to move dangerous goods. The new measures, however, allow an exemption for small quantities of dangerous goods that meet certain requirements.

The European Chamber is honored to welcome Mr. Wu Jinzhong, Head of the expert group on road transport of dangerous goods, Ministry of transport, as well as industry professionals Ms. Jingzu Li, Project Director of Improve the Safety of Dangerous Goods Transportation in China of Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and Mr. Chenfeng Shen, General Manager of GBK China Co. Ltd. to share with our member their experience and insights on dangerous goods transportation management.

During August, the European Chamber, along with the US-China Business Council and the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), participated in an anonymous survey based on an annual research project financed by the influential Chinese think thank CF40 (China Finance 40 Forum) and conducted by CASS (the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences). This year the project was focused on shredding light on the difference in perceptions between China’s regulators and foreign financial institutions when it comes to the opening up, underlining that there is a big gap. On one hand, China’s officials think they make great efforts to push forward the financial opening. On the other hand, foreign financial institutions feel limited improvement and wish the opening could bring more impactful changes.

On this basis, CASS has now published the report at the second Shanghai Bund Summit and are delighted to share the results with members of the European Chamber’s Financial Services Working Groups. At this meeting, Mr. Qiyuan Xu, Senior fellow, Head of Economic Development Department and Deputy Director of RCIF (Research Center of International Finance) at CASS will present the report.

The global pandemic has further accelerated the digital transformation of businesses resulting in increased reliance on e-commerce platforms, boom in the AI-related industries and digitalisation of production and delivery processes. With digitalisation of businesses, consumption too has increasingly moved online. Intellectual property (IP) is crucial to digital economy as it drives innovation and provides SMEs with comparative advantage over competitors. While digital economy brings about new IP risks like online infringements, it also creates new solutions for IP protection such as the use of blockchain technologies or reliance on sophisticated notice and take-down systems on e-commerce platforms or even the use of internet courts speeding up IP enforcement procedures. To be successful in digital economy, SMEs should focus on protecting their IP by adopting a comprehensive IP strategy taking into account the needs of digital economy.
