2023 has seen China’s continued regulatory efforts that could impact foreign companies’ investment decisions in the country – for example, the newly introduced Anti-espionage Law and the tighter supervision over data. At the same time, the government has also rolled out a series of measures to optimise the business environment for foreign investors in a bid to demonstrate its support of FDI. The complex context in China has led to lots of discussions on whether China is still an attractive investment destination, especially amid the global supply chain diversification trend post-COVID. How should we identify the real status of FDI in the Chinese market today and tomorrow?

Climate change has become one of the focuses that attract global attention. China also proposed at the 2020 United Nations General Assembly to fully implement the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, striving to achieve peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. The first challenge faced by enterprises in reducing emissions is how to calculate emissions more accurately, scientifically, and comprehensively, which is the foundation of enterprise emission reduction. The disclosure of emissions from enterprise products and operations may become a necessary policy requirement in the future. More and more regional markets and supply chains will impose restrictions on emissions to help reduce emissions and assume social responsibility.

European Parliament recently voted to officially pass the proposal on carbon border adjustment mechanism. It is reported that the CBAM plan (carbon tariff) will be implemented from October 1, 2023.

Faced with an increasingly unstable geopolitical and economic environment, industrial policy has been inserted as a core component of the agendas of the world’s three largest economies – the United States (US), China and the European Union (EU). Their strategies and regulations on renewable and low-carbon energy technologies, raw materials and technologies of the future are likely to result in profound implications for global supply and value chains while reshaping industries, especially high-technology sectors such as semiconductors.

What is the outlook for global geopolitics and trade amid this industrial strategy race? What are the implications of the various policy measures for the strategies of multinational companies? As the world drifts further away from globalisation, how will the elevation of industrial strategies impact the liberalisation of global trade?

On 13th July 2023, Germany released its very first comprehensive strategy on China, which signals a concerted effort with the European Union (EU) outlook to view China as “a partner, competitor, and systemic rival”, with the focus being increasingly put on the latter two aspects. The strategy highlights the changing dynamics in China that require Germany to shift its approaches, de-risk its economy, and cut reliance on China in critical sectors while pursuing diversification in its supply chains.

The strategy calls on German companies to take geopolitical risks sufficiently into account. It reiterates that the general ceiling of investment guarantees of EUR 3 billion per company per country also applies to China, and will be subject to rigorous scrutiny. Special measures such as state export credit guarantees and export controls are also put forward to avoid unwanted technology transfers and thus protect German exporters, especially in terms of sensitive dual-use or security-related technologies. The strategy also underlines the importance Germany places on diversifying its economic ties, and actively expanding business relations around the world with actors that share its values and interests.
