In mid-June the European Commission released a call for input on an instrument to address foreign subsidies in the single market called the White Paper on an Instrument for Foreign Subsidies. The tools proposed in the Paper aim to tackle distortions a) in the single market in general, b) acquisitions of EU companies, and c) in EU public procurement. The paper also proposes an approach to foreign subsidies in the context of EU funding. Given the potential impact that this document will have on European business both in Europe and in China, the European Chamber has developed a draft document with feedback and will ask for input from industry representatives at the Chamber. The European Chamber deadline for comments is Friday, 18th September 2020. Ahead of this we are setting up a Virtual roundtable for members of the Shipbuilding WG on Tuesday 15th September, 15.00-16.00 CST to discuss and align on our feedback to the European Commission.

It is estimated that buildings accounts for 40 per cent of the overall energy consumption in the world, and that people spend on up to 90 per cent of their time indoors. Yet indoor air is five times more polluted than outdoor air. Living in mould and damp buildings can increase the risk of asthma. Therefore, buildings that benefit both people and planet are essential for the sustainable development. It requires relevant stakeholders to join hands and work out a solution from a long-term perspective.

To achieve green energy transition and meet the objectives set out in the COP21 (Paris), and reiterated in COP25 (Madrid), China must focus on energy intensity reduction and create a market for upgrading existing facilities with new efficient and digital technologies, with an emphasis on clean energy even during the pandemic and corresponding drop in energy demand. To recover from the impact of COVID-19 in a sustainable way, China should accelerate investment in upgrading existing facilities with outdated technologies to reduce energy consumption. China has not yet established a framework to control industries’ and buildings’ energy intensity, instead adopting a passive stance based on the anticipated consequences of shifting from a production-driven to a service-driven economy.

Recently, the PBoC has confirmed it will pilot its central bank digital currency (CBDC) in a number of districts and plans to roll it out at the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2022, and the PBoC’s Digital Currency Research Institute confirmed “closed pilot tests” would be conducted in Shenzhen, Suzhou, Xiong’an New District and Chengdu.

In addition, the Chinese government has been strictly regulating fintech business over the last few years. Detailed policies and guidance have been introduced to support the continuous growth of fintech business and to ensure that it is under proper supervision. Consequently, many small fintech companies have been wiped out of the market because of the increasing compliance cost, while big ones have survived. Meanwhile, the government encourages financial institutions to adopt new information technologies. The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) released the Fintech Development Plan (2019–2021) which states the national framework policy for the development of fintech business. The Plan encouraged the development of fintech solutions by using various digital technologies and fintech business will be regulated in a “prudent” manner in order to control the risks associated with information security, transaction security and business continuity. In this context, small P2P lending platforms died out, while bigger and more prudent players continued to grow. Specialised technology companies, including those which provide IT solutions to financial institutions, are developing fast.
