Forum Background

The comprehensive strategic partnership between the European Union (EU) and China turns 20 this year. Over the past two decades the EU and China, two of the world’s leading economies, have engaged in mutually beneficial cooperation in a win-win manner and achieved significant success in fields such as politics, economy, culture, and science. As of the end of 2022, EU-China bilateral trade volume reached $847.3 billion, with each side the second-largest trading partner of the other. The stock of two-way investment between China and the EU has exceeded $230 billion, benefiting people on both sides and contributing greatly to world peace and economic prosperity.

Looking ahead, the two sides hold great potential for cooperation and share common interests in promoting economic growth and financial stability, coping with the energy crisis, curbing inflation, and pursuing green and digital transitions. As such, they have decided to set up a financial working group under the China-EU High-Level Economic and Trade Dialogue (HED) mechanism to strengthen cooperation in financial areas such as financial liberalisation, infrastructure, and regulation, as well as sustainable finance and fintech. However, some tension does exist within the relationship – EU authorities have recently opened an anti-subsidy investigation into Chinese electric car imports, for example.

"The new China Cyber Security Law, which took effect on June 1, 2017, poses many questions and insecurities for all companies operating in China, especially for those that handle employee and customer data cross-border.
As it is customary, the law appears to be passed and in effect before the underlying implications, enforcement mechanisms and potential penalties are clear. In comparison, the EU has also passed such new law, but it will only go into effect by mid 2018.
How do local and global industry leaders view this new law? What are the expected implications in the Automotive sector? A regulation that deals with data in the whole will have an effect on all aspects of trade, be it employee data, e.g. for Chinese citizens working on international assignments, consumer data across the nation and any other data collected. The August Automotive Roundtable will serve as platform to discus all these questions.
