Although the pandemic abruptly halted Asia’s momentum as a rising economy, after this crisis the region plans to be well on its way to making the ‘Asian Century’ a reality. Excluding newly industrialized economies in Asia, regional growth is estimated at 6.6% in 2021, according to the Asian Development Bank. Asia’s leaders are faced with an array of challenges when looking to continue growth, considering institutional, financial, environmental transformations amongst many others are needed to make this possible.

Will Asia turn to its European counterparts for guidance? How should Europe engage? Inevitably, how will the upcoming US elections play a role in this relationship?

Upgrading its healthcare system has been one of China’s major reform priorities in recent years, with the provision of advanced, innovative medical devices at the core of this plan.

Despite presenting serious challenges throughout 2020, COVID-19 has not managed to impact the ineluctable roll-out of new, significant pieces of Cybersecurity implementation rules and draft laws in China. One notable release was the draft Data Security Law in July 2020. China’s determination to more-stringently regulate its cyberspace have been paralleled by a doubling of compliance endeavours from foreign businesses in China, which has increased both the cost and the operational burden of doing business, at least in the short-term.
In order to examine how the Cybersecurity Law and the Data Security Draft Law will coexist, and what the long-term impact will be on European companies operating in China, the European Chamber as assembled a distinguished group of government representatives, lawyers, security experts and industry representatives to discuss this topic at its annual Cybersecurity Conference.

As the regulatory landscape evolves and new challenges arise for companies, general counsels and compliance departments have become increasingly important, helping organisations to adapt. As such, there is significant pressure on compliance professionals to ensure that companies meet their obligations.
The skillset of General Counsels and Compliance officers has had to increase in tandem with the volume and complexity of regulations. Where once compliance officers operated like lawyers, now they also need to be techies with a deep understanding of the technology estate. It is a multi-dimensional challenge.
