The reform of Chinese state assets and state-owned enterprises (SOEs) has long remained the core element of China’s economic reform process. In 2015 the Guiding Opinions on Deepening the Reform of State-owned Enterprises (Guiding Opinions) was released as the key framework document to further modernize and improve the overall competence of SOEs. Successively, in 2020, the Three-year Action Program of SOE Reform (2020-2022) (Three-year Action Program) was issued and elaborated on the goals, timeline and future road map of the reform, which proves Chinese government’s ambition for the SOE system to make real changes.

国资国企改革长期以来是中国经济体制改革的重心。2015年，《关于深化国有企业改革的指导意见》（《指导意见》）出台，成为现阶段国企改革的框架性纲领文件，对进一步提高国企现代化和综合能力作出指示。2020年，《国企改革三年行动方案（2020－2022年）》等各项方案正式出台，国企改革的目标、时间表、路线图得到明确，展现了中国政府对深化国资国企改革的决心。

The technology behind generative artificial intelligence (AI)—which can produce content such as text, imagery and audio—is developing at astonishing speeds. Following the release of ChatGPT in November 2022, this and other generative AI applications such as Stable Diffusion and GitHub Copilot, have captured public attention worldwide, thanks to their wide utility.

While the full economic potential of this technology is yet to be tapped into, there are a host of considerations and concerns for businesses and governments to take into account in the era of generative AI, not to mention the potential for legal and regulatory challenges.

Since China ended its ‘zero-COVID’ strategy, Chinese officials have been on a charm offensive in an attempt to restore the country’s allure as an investment destination. However, more will need to be done if China is to successfully reverse the deterioration of business sentiment that has taken place over the past three years.

2023 has seen China’s continued regulatory efforts that could impact foreign companies’ investment decisions in the country – for example, the newly introduced Anti-espionage Law and the tighter supervision over data. At the same time, the government has also rolled out a series of measures to optimise the business environment for foreign investors in a bid to demonstrate its support of FDI. The complex context in China has led to lots of discussions on whether China is still an attractive investment destination, especially amid the global supply chain diversification trend post-COVID. How should we identify the real status of FDI in the Chinese market today and tomorrow?

Climate change has become one of the focuses that attract global attention. China also proposed at the 2020 United Nations General Assembly to fully implement the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, striving to achieve peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. The first challenge faced by enterprises in reducing emissions is how to calculate emissions more accurately, scientifically, and comprehensively, which is the foundation of enterprise emission reduction. The disclosure of emissions from enterprise products and operations may become a necessary policy requirement in the future. More and more regional markets and supply chains will impose restrictions on emissions to help reduce emissions and assume social responsibility.

European Parliament recently voted to officially pass the proposal on carbon border adjustment mechanism. It is reported that the CBAM plan (carbon tariff) will be implemented from October 1, 2023.
