Closing off 2020, the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China will celebrate its 20th birthday. Founded in 2000, the initial goal of the European Chamber was to establish a common voice for the various business sectors of the European Union and European businesses operating in China. This is still our raison d’être today.

For the past 20 years, the European Chamber has been a guide for European businesses to develop their presence in China, while also providing both Chinese and European authorities with constructive policy recommendations. We will continue to be your indefatigable advocate now and well into the future.

In recognition of the many accomplishments and successes over the past two decades, the European Chamber will host a celebration event in Shenzhen on 25 November.

The first half will be a conference discussing the challenges and opportunities for European companies operating here, as China’s new digital infrastructure initiative meets a de-globalised world.

A ceremony and buffet dinner will be held following the conference for you to enjoy with members of both European and South China business community.

Over 100 high-profile attendees will join this event, with VIP guests including EU Chamber President Joerg Wuttke, Chinese VIPs, as well as European Consulates and Representative Offices in South China. We eagerly anticipate your active participation!

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 tank CF40 (China Finance 40 Forum) and conducted by CASS (the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences). This year the project was focused on shedding 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.
