Webinar Invitation: "Navigating China’s Next Phase: Strategy, Trade Friction, and the Fight for Future Competitiveness"

Are you up to speed on the shifts redefining China’s economic trajectory? China has entered a new phase. With the 15th Five-Year Plan - running from 2026 through 2030 - now underway, Beijing is sharpening its focus on technological self-reliance, domestic demand, and long-term resilience while still depending on exports to key markets like Europe in the near term, amid global uncertainty and rising pressure from the US.

Join us for this webinar, where we unpack what this transition means in practice. Together with our partner, we place the new plan within the broader context of Xi Jinping’s economic strategy, including “dual circulation,” and explore where China is doubling down - and where it faces real constraints.

What to expect:

In this session, we take a closer look at how China’s new economic phase is shaping the operating environment for Western companies - and what it means in practice for your business.
  • A shifting strategic landscape – We begin by unpacking the key priorities of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan, including the push for technological self-reliance, stronger domestic demand, and long-term resilience. We place this within the broader context of Xi Jinping’s economic strategy, including “dual circulation,” to highlight where China is doubling down—and where constraints are emerging.
  • Implications for Western companies – As China’s strategy evolves, so does the complexity for international businesses. We explore the growing pressure for domestic substitution, intensified global competition, tighter regulatory control in key sectors, and increasing trade friction—alongside the potential for higher EU tariffs and possible Chinese countermeasures.
  • Positioning for what comes next – Finally, we focus on what matters most for decision-makers: identifying the real risks and opportunities, and how to position your organization for China’s next phase from 2026 to 2030 in an increasingly uncertain and competitive global landscape.
  • Ask your questions – The ability to ask questions is open throughout the webinar. Feel free to put forward anything you’d like to know, and we will have as many of your questions as possible answered by our panel of experts.
