One of the biggest challenges facing European companies in China is the perpetuation of China’s ‘economic caste system’, which distinguishes companies by ownership, and favours state-owned over private and local over foreign. This biased economic structure pits finance-starved private companies against the unnaturally enhanced, inefficient SOEs that are at the core of China’s structural problems. The continuation of this system is doing little to inspire the European business communities’ long-term confidence in China’s economy.

随着人工智能、大数据等新技术的发展，智能制造已成为制造业企业的主要发力方向。而数字化工厂作为迈向智能工厂的基础，能够迅速根据客户需求定制产品，快速应对不断变化的需求和趋势。尽管现阶段数字化工厂的实现仍处于初始阶段，但这并不妨碍我们通过了解一些在数字化发展前沿的制造业公司案例，发现转型过程中存在的问题和数字化转型后工厂所拥有的潜在优势。 Given the quickening development of high technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data, intelligent manufacturing has become a main focus for growing manufacturing enterprises. Intelligent factories can quickly customize products according to customer demand, quicken response time to changing needs and trends, and lead to a comprehensive increase in factory performance. Despite the fact that this Andritz factory is still in its initial stages, this in no way hinders how we can use it as an example of the vast frontier of digital factories, and discover the potential strengths and weaknesses of the digitization process.

As the intensive promulgation of data protection regulations this year, and the soon-to-be-effective Information Security Classified Protection policy this December, China is making a few steps more forward to optimizing the network construction. Business should be aware and informed of these changes and act accordingly either to offer comments to the draft or to comply with local regualtions. 数据安全相关保护条例密集出台，加之2019年12月即将生效的信息安全等级保护制度，都预示着中国正在加紧步伐完善网络安全建设。企业更应密切关注政策法规层面的变化，对法规草案积极建言，同时使企业保持合规。
