Forum Background

The comprehensive strategic partnership between the European Union (EU) and China turns 20 this year. Over the past two decades the EU and China, two of the world’s leading economies, have engaged in mutually beneficial cooperation in a win-win manner and achieved significant success in fields such as politics, economy, culture, and science. As of the end of 2022, EU-China bilateral trade volume reached $847.3 billion, with each side the second-largest trading partner of the other. The stock of two-way investment between China and the EU has exceeded $230 billion, benefiting people on both sides and contributing greatly to world peace and economic prosperity.

Looking ahead, the two sides hold great potential for cooperation and share common interests in promoting economic growth and financial stability, coping with the energy crisis, curbing inflation, and pursuing green and digital transitions. As such, they have decided to set up a financial working group under the China-EU High-Level Economic and Trade Dialogue (HED) mechanism to strengthen cooperation in financial areas such as financial liberalisation, infrastructure, and regulation, as well as sustainable finance and fintech. However, some tension does exist within the relationship – EU authorities have recently opened an anti-subsidy investigation into Chinese electric car imports, for example.

The shipbuilding sector is going through drastic changes that are set to shape the industry for the next decade. The central government is actively pursuing a policy of consolidation, pushing once broken monopolies back together: clear examples are the merger of the CSSC with the CSIC, currently China's biggest shipbuilding companies expected to control, once merged, 20% of the global market as well as the talks on a strategic merger between CMIH, CIMC and AVIC INTL, respectively the 4th, 5th and 7th biggest Chinese corporations in the sector.

Against such backdrop, the Shipbuilding Working Group invites you to its first official meeting. The scope of the event will be discussing the Working Group action plan and advocacy priorities for the coming year, deciding what kind of actions will be appropriate to better advocate for the points expressed in the position paper, analyzing the main outcomes of the EU-China dialogue on Shipbuilding of July 31st.
