While subsidisation and its distorting impact on trade, investment and competitiveness has always been a controversial issue, in the past few years concerns over the potential of foreign subsidies to erode domestic markets and the potential of domestic players to compete at home and abroad have risen to alarming levels – and so have subsidy-related disputes. Countries like the EU, the US and China have exchanged recriminations over their respective subsidy regimes and, in the EU´s case, these rising concerns have led to the rolling out of an instrument aiming to tackle distortive foreign subsidies.

However, so far there has been a lack of comprehensive data on how these different subsidy regimes look like. In order to address this gap, Global Trade Alert (GTA) compiled data on 18,137 corporate subsidies awarded by China, the EU, and the USA since November 2008 in order to develop its 28th GTA Report, which focusses on the subsidy regimes of these three players.

The European Chamber is thus pleased to invite you to join our upcoming event, where GTA Report co-author Professor Simon Evenett will provide an overview of the study. Professor Evenett will be joined by Ms Iana Dreyer, founder of Borderlex, and Professor Henry Gao from the Singapore Management University, who will the European and Chinese perspectives on subsidisation.

China is in the midst of one of the most serious power shortages in a decade, with 22 provinces employing varying degrees of load-shedding measures. The large-scale power crunch that ensued has raised the alarm to both government authorities and businesses. For a market that has largely maintained power supply security during two decades of robust growth, it is astonishing to observe the scale of this current power shortage.

The Data Security Law (DSL) represents a milestone in China’s regulatory framework. For the first time information, rather than technology, will be the regulatory focus. That the law was pushed through so quickly is indicative of its importance to policy makers. The key question for firms operating in China is how important it will be for them. The regulation establishes a class of regulated information that is not a state secret but is sensitive enough to China where how it is handled and where it is transferred is now regulated. How will this impact the operations of companies in China? Where does the DSL fit into the broader regulatory framework?
