The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is delighted to invite you to a morning seminar on outcomes of the recently concluded Plenary Session of the National People’s Congress 2010 and their impact on foreign business in China.
At the 2010 meeting of the NPC, the economy was unsurprisingly the dominant issue. But there were also a range of other topics up for debate this year - the low carbon economy, hukou reform, income distribution, employment, social welfare and more.
We are delighted to welcome Kenneth Jarrett, vice chair, Greater China, APCO Worldwide Inc., will discuss the outcome of this year’s NPC meeting and assess the implications for foreign firms.
