The 2022 Southwest China Annual General Meeting (AGM), one of the most important annual events, will be held in Chengdu on 20th April. Jörg Wuttke, president of the European Chamber, will share the key message for 2022. Massimo Bagnasco, vice president of the European Chamber and chair of the Southwest China Chapter, will review the chapter’s work in 2021, and its economic prospects and work arrangements for 2022.

The European Chamber Southwest China Chapter will also launch the Southwest Position Paper 2021/2022 at the AGM. In recent years, the Chinese Government has announced several plans aimed at developing the Southwest China region, with the cities of Chengdu and Chongqing designated as key players. These plans include making the two cities and their hinterlands China’s fourth city cluster and setting up logistics hubs for the Belt and Road Initiative. The report outlines how European businesses can contribute to the region, and the difficulties they encounter when trying to do so.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of China’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO). The past two decades of China’s WTO membership coincided with phenomenal economic and trade growth in the country. While the reforms undertaken by China over these years have significantly accelerated cross-border trade flows and led to it becoming the largest global trader in goods and second largest trader in services, debate persists over how and to what extent China has implemented its WTO commitments.

On 9th December, this year’s annual conference will deliver insightful commentary on China’s 20 years of engagement with the WTO, how the country is expected to position itself as the WTO evolves, and the ways China can contribute to WTO reform and revitalise the multilateral trade mechanism. Through keynote speeches and panel discussions, our guest speakers (former chief trade negotiators, think tank experts and global business leaders) will present their perspectives on these topics, and examine how to preserve the core values of the multilateral trade system in the years to come.

Over the past two years, companies in South China have been dealt a series of hardships stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic that has put additional pressure on them. Travel policies may be seen as the most challenging obstacle to tackle for businesses as it grows increasingly difficult to not only return key employees from abroad, but, more importantly, attract talent to move to South China.
