Forum Background

The comprehensive strategic partnership between the European Union (EU) and China turns 20 this year. Over the past two decades the EU and China, two of the world’s leading economies, have engaged in mutually beneficial cooperation in a win-win manner and achieved significant success in fields such as politics, economy, culture, and science. As of the end of 2022, EU-China bilateral trade volume reached $847.3 billion, with each side the second-largest trading partner of the other. The stock of two-way investment between China and the EU has exceeded $230 billion, benefiting people on both sides and contributing greatly to world peace and economic prosperity.

Looking ahead, the two sides hold great potential for cooperation and share common interests in promoting economic growth and financial stability, coping with the energy crisis, curbing inflation, and pursuing green and digital transitions. As such, they have decided to set up a financial working group under the China-EU High-Level Economic and Trade Dialogue (HED) mechanism to strengthen cooperation in financial areas such as financial liberalisation, infrastructure, and regulation, as well as sustainable finance and fintech. However, some tension does exist within the relationship – EU authorities have recently opened an anti-subsidy investigation into Chinese electric car imports, for example.

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。
