2020 has been a year of unprecedented disruption and volatility for businesses. As well as placing enormous health and economic costs on organisations, the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified and accelerated latent geopolitical risks and trends. International companies in China now find themselves facing a more polarised geopolitical environment and a domestic agenda geared towards greater self-sustainability which pose significant challenges for their corporate strategies and operations both in China and globally. With the constant stream of headlines, volatility and disruption showing no signs of abating, what should businesses be focusing on as they seek to manage these new challenges?
The European Chamber is delighted to invite you to a webinar on December 9 where our distinguished speaker Mr. Chris Torrens, Partner at Control Risks, will share his observations on the profound geopolitical changes taking place in 2020-21 and the focus for organisations looking to future-proof their China - and global - businesses. Key talking points will include:
- Global and regional geopolitical dynamics, particularly in US-China and Euro-China relations.
- How is the changing geopolitical landscape influencing the domestic agenda and what challenges does it pose for international businesses?
- Focus areas for companies for whom China is core to their growth and survival.
