Since it was first mentioned during the Central Economic Work Conference at the end of 2023, ‘new quality productive forces’, or 新质生产力, has become the one buzzword embodying the leadership’s evolving thinking on the direction of China’s industrial policy. What are the departures – if any – from the previous policy and strategy goals? How will this translate into concrete policy design and implementation at the central and local levels? What does the unleashing of the ‘new quality productive forces’ mean for foreign businesses, large and small, in China?
The European Chamber and the EU SME Centre are thus pleased to invite you to our next Working Group meeting, where China Policy Macroeconomic Analyst Itamar Waksman will address these and other relevant questions linked to the ‘new quality productive forces’. The meeting will take place on 17th June from 16:30 to 17:30 offline in Beijing.
