In an era marked by rapid economic shifts and geopolitical complexities, understanding the true dynamics of the Chinese market has never been more critical. We are excited to invite you to an exclusive NBA event, where Dr Guoxiong Zhang, Managing Director of Deloitte Economic Advisory in China, shares his observations and thoughts on the Chinese economy and the China market.
The seminar is designed specifically for managers within NBA member companies operating in China, as well as the headquarters abroad. This event comes at a crucial time when managers in China often find themselves struggling to communicate the reality of the market's challenges and opportunities to their headquarters abroad. The seminar aims to bridge the knowledge gap that has become increasingly challenging in today's global business environment.
Central to the seminar's agenda is an exploration of the current state of the Chinese economy. Participants will gain valuable insights into its evolving landscape, allowing them to better navigate the market's complexities. Equally important will be a discussion on China's evolving policies, particularly how recent regulatory changes are impacting business operations and strategies. In addressing the theme of security and geopolitics, the seminar will also confront the notion that China seeks to disconnect from global interactions, a misconception that has gained traction in some circles.
This is a hybrid session with both online and offline participation available. For offline session, there will be opportunity to engage in more in-depth discussions after the presentation, attendees will be able to share their experiences, ask questions directly to experts and peers, and gain deeper insights into the topics.
