Hybrid Event in the organization of our new partner was held on Thursday 23.9.2021 at 18:00 CEST
The topic of this event was "Digital Silk Road meets Unimpeded Trade and Investment: What can Europe learn from China - or China from Europe?"
Summary: Unimpeded trade and investment is a major goal of the European Union and many countries along the Belt and Road, including China. However, EU FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) into China, and Chinese investment into the EU, have suffered setbacks as the EU-China Comprehensive Agreement on Investment (CAI) has stalled. CAI primarily favours greater market access to China for European companies in both services and manufacturing. But can CAI be re-activated? And is Romania an important BRI trading nation? Has Romania been successful in attracting Chinese FDI? There have been some European concerns over Chinese investments in certain perceived sensitive sectors, notwithstanding the comparatively low levels of Chinese investment generally in the EU. Are such fears justified? What has been the experience of Chinese companies investing in the EU? What restrictions exist? What is it like to work with Chinese investors and partners doing business in the EU? And what is the role of technology in all this? These and other questions were discussed at the event.
