This year marks the 20th anniversary of China’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO). The past two decades of China’s WTO membership coincided with phenomenal economic and trade growth in the country. While the reforms undertaken by China over these years have significantly accelerated cross-border trade flows and led to it becoming the largest global trader in goods and second largest trader in services, debate persists over how and to what extent China has implemented its WTO commitments.

On 9th December, this year’s annual conference will deliver insightful commentary on China’s 20 years of engagement with the WTO, how the country is expected to position itself as the WTO evolves, and the ways China can contribute to WTO reform and revitalise the multilateral trade mechanism. Through keynote speeches and panel discussions, our guest speakers (former chief trade negotiators, think tank experts and global business leaders) will present their perspectives on these topics, and examine how to preserve the core values of the multilateral trade system in the years to come.

After China’s proposal for a ‘Global Data Security Initiative’ in September 2020, China has stepped up its cyber-related legislation in 2021 with an unprecedented speed. This is especially reflected through the promulgation of two data related superordinate laws that will work together with the Cybersecurity Law: one is the Data Security Law (DSL), which came into effect since 1st September 2021, and the other being the Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL), to be enacted on 1st November 2021.
The European Chamber is delighted to invite our members to our next annual Cybersecurity Conference, where we invite the right experts, at the right time, to decipher the increasingly complicated cybersecurity management framework in China to better prepare our audience to what is coming or is present.

In June of this year, The New York Times warned that “as China moves to start enforcing a new cybersecurity law, foreign companies face a major problem: They know very little about it.” Though the Times may be guilty of hyperbole, while the implementing rules are still being formulated a lot of guess work remains on how this incredibly broad piece of legislation will actually be enforced.
