Upcoming event | 6th China and Globalization Forum

On Nov. 11-12, 2020, the 6th edition of CCG annual China and Globalization Forum, organized by CCG and China Association for International Economic Cooperation (CAFIEC), Ministry of Commerce, will be held in Beijing, China. 

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 has presented unprecedented challenges for China and the world. Exacerbated by coronavirus, the re-emergence of protectionism and nationalism have undone the process promoted in the past and demanded a rethink of globalization. At this critical and extraordinary time in Nov., the Forum aims to present animated debates, insights, and forward-looking strategies from experts, stakeholders, and policy insiders. Topics will touch upon China’s economic rebound, trends and outlooks for global trade and investment, corporate development, and great power relations amid the geopolitical upheavals of 2020 and beyond.

The annual China and Globalization Forum is one of CCG’s flagship conferences.  Since 2015, CCG has hosted this forum annually in conjunction with its council meeting, bringing together the most prominent members of CCG Advisory, leading policy scholars and business leaders. Over the years, this signature event has become a magnet for the most highly-regarded delegates from China’s government, expert, and business communities. After an 8-month long hiatus caused by social distancing, the Forum this year is set out to be a function for CCG friends and associates to share knowledge and perspectives, and reconnect in person.

More Information

The internationalization of Chinese enterprises is one of the most notable aspects of economic globalization in the 21st century. Despite the 2008 financial crisis and weak global outbound investment, under the “go global“ initiative, Chinese outbound investment has gone from strength to strength, while also diversifying in terms of investment modalities, destinations, and industries. However, growing anti-globalization sentiment in some countries has also created new challenges for Chinese firms expanding internationally.

Drawing on nearly 3000 data samples, using both quantitative and qualitative research methods, this book presents unique insights into the features and patterns of Chinese enterprises’ globalization. The analysis provides a useful reference for enterprises that have already gone global and those that plan to. In particular, this book investigates challenges confronted by Chinese companies when doing business in foreign countries. It summarizes research covering three angles, namely: the current situation, causation analysis and corresponding solutions, and recommendations for firms, government agencies and other institutions.

This book provides a comprehensive overview to help readers to grasp the broad picture of the international expansion of Chinese enterprises. It has important reference value for enterprises to help devise foreign investment strategy, seize opportunities, and navigate challenges in the course of globalization.

The first effort to address the gap regarding higher-end talent within the scholarly work on internal labor migration in China

Provides an essential overview of the major milestones in China’s talents attraction policies, as well as several recommendations to help further improve those policies

Investigates corresponding policies in Germany, Japan, and Singapore to serve as a basis for comparison

Provides a snapshot of first-hand reference material for relevant stakeholders involved in cooperation with China

More Information

This book offers the most comprehensive, up-to-date assessment of China’s domestic and international migration. Restructuring economic development requires large numbers of educated and skilled talents, but this effort comes at a time when the size of China’s domestic workforce is shrinking. In response, both national and regional governments in China have been keen to encourage overseas Chinese talents and professionals to return to the country. Meanwhile, the Chinese government has initiated a number of policies to attract international highly-skilled talents and enhance the country’s competitiveness, and some Chinese policies have started attracting foreign talents, who are coming to the country to work, and even to stay. Since Chinese policies, mechanisms, and administration efforts to attract and retain skilled domestic or overseas talents are helping to reshape China’s economy and are significantly affecting the cooperation on migration and talent mobility, these aspects, in addition to being of scholarly and research interest, hold considerable commercial potential.
