Instead of the strong economic rebound that businesses had hoped for, China’s reopening in 2023 brought more uncertainties for European firms operating in the country. China’s deeper structural issues—including sluggish demand, high levels of local government debt and the continued challenges in the real estate sector—continued to weigh on the prospects of both domestic and foreign companies, and the economy overall.

The Paris Agreement set an ambitious goal to limit global warming to well below 2°C, preferably to 1.5 degrees, in comparison with pre-industrial levels, which has prompted a series of measures to achieve this target.

The European Green Deal sets out a clear path towards realising the European Union (EU's) ambitious target of a 55 per cent reduction in carbon emissions compared to 1990 levels by 2030, and to become a climate-neutral continent by 2050. As part of the EU Green Deal, a proposal for a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has been introduced to prevent the risk of carbon leakage. China exports more manufactured goods and services to the EU than any other country; therefore the CBAM proposal and the amendments adopted by the European Parliament on 22nd June 2022 have raised concern among Chinese stakeholders.
