Although European companies in China continued to perform well in 2018, navigating the economic slowdown and trying to compete against a resurgent state-owned sector, while straight-jacketed by red tape, is proving a considerable challenge.
· Some market access barriers may have been lowered on the 2018 negative list, but behind-the-door barriers still block many European firms from providing the goods and services their customers demand.
· ‘Competitive neutrality’ may be the buzzword of the day, but SOEs remain omnipresent and highly privileged.
· Compelled tech transfers continue to be an issue in spite of official prohibition, with a concerning number taking place even as the survey was being conducted.
· The China market remains dynamic and important in the eyes of European business that see opportunities despite the regulation-induced headaches.
Join the European Chamber on 20th May to learn about the results of the European Business in China Business Confidence Survey 2019 and get access to the data and trends that reflect the outlook of European firms, and the opportunities and challenges that they see in the China market.
