The European Chamber Southwest China Chapter cordially invites you to attend the launch of the European Business in China - Position Paper 2024/2025 (Position Paper) on 11th December (Wednesday) in InterContinental Chongqing Raffles City.

中国欧盟商会西南分会诚挚邀请您参加于2024年12月11日（星期三）在重庆来福士洲际酒店举办的《欧盟企业在中国建议书2024/2025》发布会。

About Position Paper关于《建议书》

The European Business in China Position Paper 2024/2025 (Position Paper 2024/2025), the culmination of six months dedicated work by our 50 working groups, sub-working groups, desks and fora was launched earlier. This year’s Executive Position Paper focuses on the lack of progress made by the Chinese authorities on pro-business reform pledges announced in the past year.
《欧盟企业在中国建议书2024/2025》由欧盟商会50个工作组和子工作组历时六个月编撰而成。报告强调，如今商业信心处于低谷，中国有关政府部门应及时采取切实行动，践行去年宣布的改革方案。

While doing business in China has never been easy, companies previously viewed the complex challenges they encountered as the 'growing pains' of an emerging market. However, with the risks of doing business increasing and the rewards decreasing, many investors are now confronted with the reality that their approach to the China market may require a strategic rethink.
欧盟在华企业曾认为，在华营商面临的复杂挑战是新兴市场的“成长痛”。然而，随着营商风险增高、回报降低，许多投资者不得不直面现实挑战，重新思考对于中国市场的战略规划。

There have been positive signals that China intends to address some of the challenges faced by foreign enterprises, most notably via the State Council’s 13th August 2023 Opinions on Further Optimising the Foreign Investment Environment and Increasing the Attraction of Foreign Investment (Opinions). However, one year on from the Opinions’ publication little to no progress has been made on the implementation of key points contained in the document. In tandem, some European HQs and shareholders are coming to the conclusion that the risks of investing in China are now starting to outweigh the returns, a trend that will only intensify if key business concerns are left unaddressed.
多项政策释放积极信号，表明中国政府有意解决外资企业面临的相关挑战。其中，国务院于2023 年8月13日发布的《关于进一步优化外商投资环境 加大吸引外商投资力度的意见》（《意见》）尤为瞩目。然而《意见》发布一年至今，政策文件中重点举措落实进展有限。同时，部分中国欧盟商会会员企业开始在华建立孤立于全球体系的供应链和运营，并将计划投入中国市场的投资转至其他市场，以提高供应链韧性、利用相对较低的劳动力成本、防御潜在地缘政治风险的冲击。

The Position Paper 2024/2025 details the challenges faced by European companies operating in China and provides more than 1,000 constructive recommendations to the Chinese Government on how they can be resolved. In short, it provides a blueprint for rebuilding business confidence in the Chinese market and restoring it as the preferred destination for global investment.
《建议书》详细列举了欧盟在华企业经营难题，并向中国政府提供了1000余条建设性的建议，以期解决相关问题。《建议书》提出了新蓝图，以重建企业对华市场商业信心，重塑中国作为国际投资首选目的地的地位。

Massimo Bagnasco, Vice President of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China and Chairman of the Southwest Chapter, will come to share the key concerns and recommendations of European businesses operating in China.
中国欧盟商会副主席兼西南分会主席马晓利（Massimo Bagnasco）将分享在华经营的欧洲企业的主要关切和建议。
