For a long time, the field of technical standardisation was confined to a reduced circle of experts and received little widespread coverage. However, with the increasing polarisation of the world, the strategic dimension of standards-setting has acquired new relevance. The European Union Chamber of Commerce, in cooperation with the US-China Business Council (USCBC), is pleased to invite you to our next Working Group meeting, where two experts will discuss both the geopolitical aspects of Chinese standardisation and the perspective and experiences of US businesses when it comes to China’s standards-setting system.

2020 was meant to be a "special" year for EU-China relations, with a raft of high-level meetings and summits on the agenda and a major investment agreement near completion, but this was before the world was engulfed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, a high level of tensions: strategic, economic, political... are growing day after day. "These tensions are not conducive to the cooperative spirit that we need today in order to mitigate the consequences of the pandemic and prepare a global recovery," Said by Nicolas Chapuis, the European Union's ambassador to China. It is believed that as a third party, the EU's voice "is more than ever necessary" and that it could be key in providing multilateral solutions.

As the world begins to reflect on their COVID-19 experience, the changes it caused in society, and how governments, companies and communities have had to adapt, we also begin to focus on strategizing a way forward. This path forward is especially important for Multinational Companies (MNC’s) who have started to feel the ripple effects of a global growth slowdown in their demand, confidence and supply chain. Companies will need to revamp their business plans, expectations, and plan of action to increase their resilience long-term.

The European Chamber is honoured to hear from Mr Mats Rahmström, Global President and CEO of Atlas Copco in a fireside chat with Mr Joerg Wuttke, President of the European Chamber on 29th May 4:00pm (GMT+8).

After decades of uninterrupted globalisation, the connections between the world’s three largest markets have never been more intertwined. Yet, between a trade war, geopolitical competition and the unexpected curveball of COVID-19, the EU, China and the United States now risk falling prey to making the kind of knee-jerk reactions that could leave the global system in a tangled mess. The surge in talk about decoupling and self-reliance begs the question, has the world reached ‘peak globalisation’?

Dire challenges resulting from climate change are cementing sustainability and green growth as a necessity for all countries. This can be seen in the change in priorities of both the EU and China as they become more holistic and sustainability-focused in their approaches to economic growth. Ultimately, strong cooperation will be key in successfully tackling environmental problems, in what many agree is the world’s most significant challenge.
