2023 has seen China’s continued regulatory efforts that could impact foreign companies’ investment decisions in the country – for example, the newly introduced Anti-espionage Law and the tighter supervision over data. At the same time, the government has also rolled out a series of measures to optimise the business environment for foreign investors in a bid to demonstrate its support of FDI. The complex context in China has led to lots of discussions on whether China is still an attractive investment destination, especially amid the global supply chain diversification trend post-COVID. How should we identify the real status of FDI in the Chinese market today and tomorrow?
To explore these issues and more, the European Chamber is delighted to invite Dr Agatha Kratz, director at Rhodium Group, and Mr Chris Torrens, partner at Control Risks, to share their analysis of the evolving FDI landscape in China. They will also discuss how multinationals should have the right strategic and tactical approaches in place to manage risks and realise opportunities as Beijing tries to balance the priorities of national security and economic growth.
