On March 5, 2024, Premier Li Qiang delivered the <<Report on the Work of the Government>> at the Second Session of the 14th National People’s Congress of China. Globally, economic recovery was slow, with increasing geopolitical tensions and rising protectionism. Domestically, China faced challenges in economic recovery due to the prolonged impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, exacerbated by existing structural issues and emerging risks in areas such as real estate and financial institutions.

In response to these challenges, the government outlined its tasks for 2024, including issuing ultra-long-term special government bonds and opening up new tracks in emerging fields like quantum technology and life sciences. Additionally, China plans to implement measures to further open up its economy, such as relaxing market access restrictions and promoting cross-border services trade.

To delve deeper into these issues and their implications for businesses, the European Chamber is pleased to host Mr. Xu Sitao, Chief Economist and partner at Deloitte China, to share his insights and forecasts on the economy. Mr. Xu brings extensive experience, having previously served as Chief Representative of China and EIU Forecasting Director at the Economist Group. We will also provide an opportunity for members to introduce themselves and engage in discussion.

Closing off 2020, the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China will celebrate its 20th birthday. Founded in 2000, the initial goal of the European Chamber was to establish a common voice for the various business sectors of the European Union and European businesses operating in China. This is still our raison d’être today.

For the past 20 years, the European Chamber has been a guide for European businesses to develop their presence in China, while also providing both Chinese and European authorities with constructive policy recommendations. We will continue to be your indefatigable advocate now and well into the future.

In recognition of the many accomplishments and successes over the past two decades, the European Chamber will host a celebration event in Shenzhen on 25 November.

The first half will be a conference discussing the challenges and opportunities for European companies operating here, as China’s new digital infrastructure initiative meets a de-globalised world.

A ceremony and buffet dinner will be held following the conference for you to enjoy with members of both European and South China business community.

Over 100 high-profile attendees will join this event, with VIP guests including EU Chamber President Joerg Wuttke, Chinese VIPs, as well as European Consulates and Representative Offices in South China. We eagerly anticipate your active participation!
