Throughout the past few years, the EU has been revamping its regulatory toolbox in order to better address emerging economic, geopolitical, technological and climate challenges. This expanding toolbox includes instruments aiming at combatting economic distortions and creating a level-playing field in the Single Market, ensuring reciprocity with third countries in areas like procurement and combatting coercive actions initiated by those countries, fostering sustainable processes and preventing carbon leakage among industry players. As number of these regulations will impact the China operations of European companies, the European Chamber brings to you the Interpreting the EU’s Toolbox Series, where experts will provide an overview of the instruments that are being rolled out. The fourth episode of the series will focus on the Anti-Coercion Instrument (ACI), and it will take place on 5th March 16:00 online.

China’s emphasis on green and sustainable development offers a fertile ground for businesses in sustainable urban development. Integral to this are initiatives such as China’s Five-Year Plan, the Urban Renewal Action Plan (2023-2025), and local programs for green development and urban planning. These initiatives set forth ambitious goals for achieving ultra-low energy consumption in construction and have laid the groundwork for the adoption of green transportation projects. European SMEs, with their established practices in eco-friendly construction and sustainable transportation, are well-positioned to make a significant impact in China’s growing green and sustainable urban development sector and to export their expertise and sustainable solutions.

Over 2023, the global landscape underwent various international crises, from the protracted conflict in Ukraine to the unrest in the Gaza Strip, which have had far-reaching negative effects on the global and regional economy. For all the economic worries of a real estate crisis, government debt overload, and high youth unemployment, China looks to have managed an acceptable 5+% year growth off its low base of 2022 and the outlook for 2024 is subdued at around 4+%. Against the backdrop of significant geopolitical shifts, the evolving dynamics between China, the European Union, and the United States — the world's leading economic powers — are central to understanding the future direction of international business and commerce.

Happiness has been widely studies in psychology, economics, and other social sciences in recent decades. Happiness is an important measure for well-being, in addition to objective well-being measures such as GDP per capita and poverty. Policy-makers worldwide increasingly see happiness as an important and overarching objective of public policy. With encouragement from the OECD, nearly all its member states now measure the happiness of their people annually.
