CHINA BUSINESS SUMMIT 2021: THE NEW CHINA PARADIGM

A year on since the start of the pandemic, the world is facing growing challenges that will require complex strategic questions to be traversed. A new US Administration, and ongoing trade and investment conflict – including some close to home – together with a changed commercial environment resulting from Covid has created a “New China Paradigm”.

The resilience of the China economy gives reason to be enthusiastic about long-term growth, but as New Zealand looks forward to reopening its borders it is imperative we recognise the playing field with our largest trading partner has changed for key sectors.

The seventh China Business Summit will provide a unique business and political perspective on those changes over the past year, and what this means for New Zealand, China and the world.

It will delve into upcoming challenges and recent trends in the region, unpacking what this means for New Zealand’s long-term strategy. We will hear from business leaders in key sectors including agribusiness, education and tourism, and learn insights from those that have been on the ground in China over the past year.

Join Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, Trade Minister Damien O’Connor and a strong array of insightful speakers as we set an agenda to discuss the vital opportunities, challenges, and changes in the post-crisis world.

This will be followed by a day of debate and discussion that you should not miss.
