The event featured the release of Transition and Opportunity: Strategies from Business Leaders on Making the Most of China’s Future, its latest edited volume published with Springer-Nature.

 

As the editor of Transition and Opportunity, CCG President Wang Huiyao gave welcome remarks and a presentation of the book, followed by opening remarks by CCG Vice-chair Ben Harburg. Representing the publisher of the book, William Achauer, Editorial Director for Business, Economics, Political Sciences, and Law at Springer Nature in Singapore and Leana Li, Editorial Director for Springer Nature China, gave their remarks.

A roundtable was then held to explore the opportunities and challenges for MNCs in China, moderated by Mabel Miao, CCG Secretary-General and the editor of the book. A number of the contributors of the book who are leaders of trade groups and MNCs in China, as well as a select group of leading corporate executives and stakeholders, were gathered to explore issues concerning the role of MNCs in China’s economic transition as well as the business environment and operational realities MNCs across different sectors in China face in the post-pandemic period as well as opportunities that lie in sustainable development, digitalization, technology,  health, education, vehicles, aerospace, and trade. Topics of discussion revolved around transparency, supply chain, flow of talents, trade mechanisms and agreements, US-China decoupling, China-UK and China-EU relations, the Sino-Japanese relationship, and international cooperation on climate change.
