On 23rd March 2022, China reported 2,667 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 2,469 new cases of asymptomatic infection. The new outbreak has again put China’s zero-COVID strategy to the test, and left European businesses in China facing a host of challenges – closed highways, increasing numbers of lockdowns in multiple locations, and supply chain disruptions, to name just a few.

On 24th February 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin began a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine and demanded Kyiv’s army lay down its weapons, the largest conventional military attack in Europe since the Second World War.

Europe has been highly dependent on Russian pipeline gas for its energy supply for years; over 40 per cent of the region’s natural gas is imported from Russia. With the Ukraine crisis escalating and tougher sanctions being imposed on Russia by the west, the supply of Russian natural gas to Europe will most likely be halted, leading to fuel shortages for many Europeans.

At the end of 2021, Omicron, the fifth highly significant variant of the original SARS-COV-2, was designated a ‘variant of concern’ by the World Health Organization (WHO), based on its transmissibility and the severity of illness it can cause. South Africa, where Omicron was first reported, was the focus of the world’s attention as the number of infections surged within a few weeks. The new variant is now prevalent worldwide. The situation in China is also gloomy, given the increasing number of Omicron cases being reported across the country, which is likely to put China’s zero-COVID strategy to perhaps its toughest test yet.

To brief the European business and diplomatic community in China on the latest about Omicron, the effectiveness of current vaccines and treatments, as well as recommended actions for countries and individuals, the European Chamber has invited a group of prominent speakers to provide their different perspectives on the developing situation.

After two years of uncertainty and lockdowns, 2022 will offer ample opportunities for growth – but red and amber lights continue to flash on the risk register dashboard for business. As geopolitical competition between China and western countries intensifies, issues such as digital sovereignty and ESG threaten to further complicate and disrupt the risk landscape. Against the backdrop of the 20th CPC National Congress, China will continue to focus on socio-economic reform and re-emphasising its long-term political and regulatory priorities.
