On 24th February 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin began a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine and demanded Kyiv’s army lay down its weapons, the largest conventional military attack in Europe since the Second World War.

Europe has been highly dependent on Russian pipeline gas for its energy supply for years; over 40 per cent of the region’s natural gas is imported from Russia. With the Ukraine crisis escalating and tougher sanctions being imposed on Russia by the west, the supply of Russian natural gas to Europe will most likely be halted, leading to fuel shortages for many Europeans.

At the end of 2021, Omicron, the fifth highly significant variant of the original SARS-COV-2, was designated a ‘variant of concern’ by the World Health Organization (WHO), based on its transmissibility and the severity of illness it can cause. South Africa, where Omicron was first reported, was the focus of the world’s attention as the number of infections surged within a few weeks. The new variant is now prevalent worldwide. The situation in China is also gloomy, given the increasing number of Omicron cases being reported across the country, which is likely to put China’s zero-COVID strategy to perhaps its toughest test yet.

To brief the European business and diplomatic community in China on the latest about Omicron, the effectiveness of current vaccines and treatments, as well as recommended actions for countries and individuals, the European Chamber has invited a group of prominent speakers to provide their different perspectives on the developing situation.

After two years of uncertainty and lockdowns, 2022 will offer ample opportunities for growth – but red and amber lights continue to flash on the risk register dashboard for business. As geopolitical competition between China and western countries intensifies, issues such as digital sovereignty and ESG threaten to further complicate and disrupt the risk landscape. Against the backdrop of the 20th CPC National Congress, China will continue to focus on socio-economic reform and re-emphasising its long-term political and regulatory priorities.

The COVID-19 travel restrictions and lengthy quarantine requirements imposed by China made it nearly impossible for foreign executives to visit the country since the beginning of 2020. Two years into the pandemic, the impact of these restrictions is increasingly leading to a disconnect between headquarters and local business operations of foreign companies. Planned investments and the expansion of existing ones have been put on hold. At the same time, geopolitical tensions lead to the rise of anti-China sentiments in many countries, affecting decision-makers and boardrooms. A Pew Research Centre study from October 2020 showed that negative views on China have reached historic highs, even in countries with strong economic ties and traditionally good cultural and academic cooperation with China. According to the research, 71 % of German respondents and 85% of French respondents hold negative views on China.

In this German Chamber and European Chamber co-organized webinar, business leaders and economists based in China will share their views on the current business and political environment. We jointly invite our member companies as well as their headquarters in Europe to join and learn of the prospects for business growth and development, as speakers paint a realistic picture of doing business in China 2022.
