For many foreign multinationals, investing in listed companies is the fastest and more direct route to inorganic growth in China. Listed companies have higher levels of governance and transparency, buyer/seller valuation gaps are lower and negotiation processes can be shorter than with private peers. On the other hand, this apparently ideal route to market only represent a small amount of total foreign M&A in China, mostly due to an unfamiliarity with the complexities of the legal and regulatory environment.

The European Chamber Investment Working Group is delighted to invite you to the Investment Working Group meeting on MNC Investment in Listed Companies in China on Tuesday 12th July 17:00-18:00 pm Beijing Time (11:00am -12:00pm CET). In this meeting, Mr. Gian-Marc Widmer, Executive Director of CITIC Securities Co., Ltd. and Mr. Vincent Xu, Partner of KPMG, will share their professional insights on the topic.

Multinational companies in China are facing more regulatory pressure on cybersecurity and data transmission in recent years. On one hand, China has stepped up its cyber-related legislation with an unprecedented speed. On the other hand, the Coronavirus outbreak, by forcing companies and individuals to rely on online tools and hybrid workplace, has further underlined the importance for enterprises to review its approach to cybersecurity.

Cybersecurity Law has brought heavy impact on the business community in China; particularly, cross-border data transfer requirements are likely to be thorny for companies. Foreign companies that previously had a global approach to cyber security and compliance are pressed to revise their regional cybersecurity compliance and their current cybersecurity practices.
The European Chamber is delighted to invite subject matter experts to decipher the Chinese regulation on cross-border data flows, and cover how to comply with the increasing needs for cyber security defense and dynamic regulations, last but not least share some practical solutions to cybersecurity.
