Faced with an increasingly unstable geopolitical and economic environment, industrial policy has been inserted as a core component in the agendas of the world’s largest three economies – the United States (US), China, and the European Union (EU). These strategies and regulations on renewable and low-carbon solutions, raw materials and technologies of the future are likely to result in profound implications on the global supply and value chains while reshaping entire industries.

What is the global geopolitical and trade outlook look like amid this global industrial strategy race? What are the implications of the varying policy measures on the strategies of multinational companies? As the world is seemingly moving away from globalisation, how will the elevation of industrial strategies impact the liberalisation of global trade?

Faced with the above and further related questions, the European Chamber launched an event series—Battling it out - Decoding the Global Industrial Strategy Race—to bring members a comprehensive understanding on the industrial strategies adopted by the world’s top three superpowers and their implications on both state and industry players.

As part of its 30/60 carbon neutrality goals, China set a goal for renewable energy to exceed fossil fuel capacity by 2025, a target that has already been reached two years ahead of schedule. Renewable energy sources, as China defines them, now make up over half of the country’s power capacity. However, China’s energy consumption mix remains heavily reliant on fossil fuels, with China’s coal usage exceeding the rest of the world combined in 2022. With climate change-induced power shortages and extreme weather conditions becoming more frequent, the path towards carbon neutrality will be crucial for China to maintain its competitiveness as a global manufacturing powerhouse.

内容简介】
企业舆情的爆发非常常见。尽管还有企业在奢望“0舆情”，事实上，任何企业都无法保证自己不会因为某种意外上热搜。企业更应该学习的是如何预防舆情，以及如何在遇到突发舆情时能够正确应对，避免舆情的扩大化。

近期花西子的舆情，企业不正确的应对，把由李佳琦担任主角的舆情最终变成花西子领衔主演。进而，花西子连续做出更多应对均让舆论不解。从后续花西子多次上热搜的行为看，该企业的危机公关应对策略似乎与众不同，似乎有试图“把危变成机”的想法。那么，花西子的策略到底有没有达到危机公关的目的？花西子的“发疯文学”到底有没有挽回流失的消费者？相信这都是企业市场部和公关部们会有的疑问。

乌兰老师邀请到专业舆情监测公司北京源信加科技有限公司提供独家数据支持，通过客观的数据分析，舆情语义分析等证据拆解，来理性分析受众和消费者对花西子的舆情连续剧的真实效果。
