Tianjin Women Professionals 

Committee Luncheon

Gender Equity Is Everyone’s Business 

The AmCham China Women Professionals Committee (WPC) held its August luncheon on August 12th at the Shangri-la Hotel Tianjin. This is the first time in Tianjin Chapter’s history that we invited male allies to participate and share their insights.

The luncheon was kicked off by Dr. Shumway from Tianjin United Family Hospital, who expressed his appreciation to AmCham China Tianjin for organizing this luncheon to enhance women's equity within the workplace. And Justine Qian, Tianjin Co-chair of Women Professionals Committee thanked everybody for participating and introduced our speakers.

Steven Cao, Chairman at Chayora China introduced its company’s very balanced male and female employment ratio (50/50) in such a men dominated industry. And he strongly believes that the support for more women to join the IT industry through technical skills is crucial. Karen Kesner, Head of Americas and Executive Vice President at Chayora Limited added her comments and answered questions from our moderator Michael Hart, and emphasized the key factors such as communication, attitudes of the executives, and the passion of growth to build their careers. 

Then, Martin Winchell, Managing Director-Greater China of Schneider Logistics Inc., shared his personal experience in supporting female talents with their career development, answered questions from audience and gave suggestions on future WPC event topics.

The committee welcomes women professionals from diverse backgrounds and male allies to join the initiative.

EUROPEAN CHAMBER

The European Chamber Business Confidence Survey 2021 Tianjin Launch 

《中国欧盟商会商业信心调查2021》天津发布会

Date: 11th August 2021

The European Chamber Business Confidence Survey 2021 Tianjin Launch was successfully organized in the format of breakfast briefing at the Four Seasons hotel on the 11th August 2021. The event attracted over 20 attendees representing numbers of member companies in TJ. Dr. Christoph Schrempp, Chair of the European Chamber Tianjin Board highlighted the key findings with regards to the general business and economic environment under the impact of the COVID in 2020.

The annual survey was completed by 585 European Chamber member companies, answering questions about 2020 performance, as well as future outlooks. Contrary to their expectations in early 2020, European companies in China found themselves in a resurgent market that was able to get production back online, and are building resilience in China to secure their position in the market. However, the still-looming economic consequences of the pandemic, an increasingly politicised business environment, decoupling and tech divergence, and long-standing concerns over market access, SOEs and a level playing field still present major concerns to European companies moving forward.
