The decoupling of the U.S. and Chinese economies is one of the headline risks in U.S.-China relations nowadays. The Trump administration has actively pursued an agenda to bring U.S. manufacturing back to America and separate technology supply chains. At the same time, China is also moving to decouple its technology industry. The Belt & Road Initiative combined with the rise of the digital renminbi will make it even easier for China to grow its exports in other countries.

The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is pleased to welcome Dan Wang, Technology Analyst at Gavekal Dragonomics to decipher the impact of US-China tech decoupling for business. Dan will speak about US regulatory actions around inbound investment and export controls and how they've affected Chinese technology firms, especially Huawei. This session will take place in-person at the Shanghai office of the European Chamber, lunch boxes will be provided to participants.

Manufacturing companies didn't need to worry about marketing a decade ago. They produced the best possible products and hired good salespeople to sell them. And that was about it.
If manufacturers even thought about marketing, it was as sales support: organizing trade show giveaways, creating sell sheets, buying ad space in trade magazines and making sure the website looked halfway decent.
Essentially, marketing was not a focus, and it was often treated as an afterthought.
But the world of buying and selling has changed. 94% of B2B buyers are now doing their own research online before they even want to engage with a manufacturing company's salespeople.
So, ready or not, marketing has become a new necessity manufacturers.

Innovation and R&D are inexhaustible driving force and core competitiveness for long-term and sustainable development of an enterprise. Chinese government attaches great importance to the role of R&D investment by enterprises in national economy, and introduces a series of R&D incentive programs. As a starting point, considerations need to be given to the correlation of the IP arrangement/TP positioning of the China entity in the value chain and the R&D incentive that a company may claim.
