Recent WTO disputes, an ongoing trade war, and significant rates of ongoing intellectual property (IP) infringement in China have amplified concerns about the strength of the country's IP regime. At the same time, across many indicators, China's IP regime is relatively supportive of European businesses. For European firms, this seeming contradiction is difficult to explain to fellow employees and top management in China -- let alone headquarters, clients, and government representatives. And yet, without a convincing explanation offered to these stakeholders, business activities in China may run sub-optimally at a time where competition is fiercer than ever. This working group meeting will seek to both explain and offer some solutions to this conundrum.

The Chinese and global economy is dependent on a well-functioning and healthy maritime transport industry. But in maritime transport in particular, there are limits to the carbon emission reductions that can be achieved by using existing technologies. New technologies need to be developed in order to ensure carbon neutrality, whether by 2050 or 2060. Developing and implementing entirely new maritime propulsion technologies and fuels requires international collaboration, due to the scale and urgency of the challenge. In this respect, China and Europe are natural partners within the maritime industry. They are global leaders within the industry, with the world’s five largest container shipping companies being based in either China or Europe. Moreover, China is the world’s largest shipbuilding nation, accounting for about 50 per cent of all tonnage being built globally, while many European companies and institutions are leaders in maritime technology

At this meeting, representatives of the China Association of National Shipbuilding Industry (CANSI) and the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) will jointly discuss how European ship manufacturers and ship operators can work together to form an industry pathway to decarbonisation.

In terms of data compliance, the security management and assessment of cross-border data transfer has always been a key topic of public concern. On 29th October, the Cyberspace Administration of China released the Measures on Security Assessment of the Cross-border Transfer of Personal Information (Draft for Comments) (Measures) for public consultation, Article 2 of which requires data handlers that provide outside China (a) “important data” that was collected or produced through operations within the territory of China, or (b) personal information where a security assessment is legally required, to conduct a security assessment. Once enacted, the Measures would become a cornerstone of China’s cross-border data transfer security management regime.
On 24th November, the European Chamber welcomes Raymond Wang, partner of Shihui Partners, as he interprets the Measures, including its application scope and key provisions, and provides compliance recommendations for data handlers carrying out cross-border data transfer security management and assessment activities.
