As the world economy suffers the effects of COVID-19, China is the only G20 country expected to see positive economic output this year. Business opportunities for Canadian products and services abound, but how have the landscape and demands in the Chinese market changed?

 

CCBC’s latest virtual conference starts with a half-day seminar featuring expert speakers from China examining sectoral opportunities, outlining Chinese consumer behaviours, and sharing how business practices are changing in a travel-restricted environment. This is a ‘must-attend’ event for Canadian companies doing business in China or considering this market in their global business plans. Participants will better understand business in China, the opportunities available and the skills needed to be successful. We are pleased to feature closing remarks by H.E. Dominic Barton, Canada’s Ambassador to China.
