After nearly three years of disrupted supply chains, delayed logistics and lockdowns that shuttered factories, China is now trying to woo back foreign investors and businesses. During his attendance at the WEF in Davos in January, vice premier (and one of China's top economic policymakers) Liu He stated that "more focus will be placed on expanding domestic demand, keeping supply chains stable, supporting the private sector, reforming the state-owned enterprises, attracting foreign investment and preventing economic and financial risks".

Is this the beginning of a second "Reform and Opening-Up" phase in modern China's history? Will the country remain open, or are new and unexpected turns yet to come? What is the current state of the country’s economy and business landscape, and how can businesses in Switzerland prepare for the volatile future in dealing with China?

Join us for this off-the-record Executive Roundtable, during which Senior Fellow Guonan Ma from the Asia Society Policy Institute’s Center for China Analysis will provide his assessment as well as valuable insights on how to navigate the uncertain months ahead.

As this is a topic that is on many leaders’ mind, we will offer our participants the opportunity to share their thoughts and experiences with other leaders during the roundtable. If you are interested in sharing your organization’s perspective, please let us know when registering.
