Nov 29: Changing times: Future-proofing your China strategy and business operations

What is it about?

China has entered a disruptive phase of its development for all businesses - foreign and domestic. The trade war between the US and China may be the current focus, but its domestic plays, such as the ‘Made in China 2025’ policy and the Cyber Security Law in force since 2017, are the real headwinds for foreign companies.

While companies operating in China have little influence over the country’s growth strategies and tactics, they can have an insight into them and prepare a plan to respond. Control Risks Partner and General Manager of Hong Kong and South China, Neal Beatty will explain the steps companies need to take in order to future-proof their China strategy and business operations in this ’new era’.

Why should I attend?

·         The key policies and economic strategies that will impact multinationals operating in China.
