The Chinese and global economy is dependent on a well-functioning and healthy maritime transport industry. But in maritime transport in particular, there are limits to the carbon emission reductions that can be achieved by using existing technologies. New technologies need to be developed in order to ensure carbon neutrality, whether by 2050 or 2060. Developing and implementing entirely new maritime propulsion technologies and fuels requires international collaboration, due to the scale and urgency of the challenge. In this respect, China and Europe are natural partners within the maritime industry. They are global leaders within the industry, with the world’s five largest container shipping companies being based in either China or Europe. Moreover, China is the world’s largest shipbuilding nation, accounting for about 50 per cent of all tonnage being built globally, while many European companies and institutions are leaders in maritime technology

At this meeting, representatives of the China Association of National Shipbuilding Industry (CANSI) and the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) will jointly discuss how European ship manufacturers and ship operators can work together to form an industry pathway to decarbonisation.

In recent years, China Customs has strengthened the monitoring of tax risks in post importation stage, and more and more verification and inspection towards import and export companies are carried out by Customs. After the epidemic, the Customs has strengthened the systematic review of transfer pricing of large multinational enterprises at industry level, with focus on the enterprises who have "special relations” in import and export transactions and royalty arrangement, which has brought more risks and complexity to multinational enterprises’ daily operations.
China is in the process of establishing its new export control regime. While the historical dual-use item list remains, exports are no longer controlled at a product level; instead each transaction must be reviewed to against the new requirements. Moreover, since China’s Export Control Law was announced, a number of export control related regulations have been issued including Guidance on the Internal Control Program (“ICP”) and the Anti-foreign Sanction Law. The new export control regime therefore will bring quite a lot compliance considerations for high tech exporters.
