2018中国改革横琴论坛

The United Kingdom is China's third largest trading partner, second largest investment destination and third largest source of foreign investment in Europe, and is also one of the popular destinations for Chinese companies to "go global". China's strategies of "Enterprises Going Global", RMB Internationalization and Financial Market Opening-up mean that China will continue to regard London as a priority partner. London is the world's largest offshore RMB trading center after Hong Kong. At the same time, thanks to the "Shanghai-London Stock Connect" mechanism, London has also become the first choice for Chinese companies to raise funds.

In the context of intensified great power competition, slowing globalization, the climate crisis, challenges to energy security, and technological disruption, Caixin Media aims to convene approximately 80 politicians, professionals, academics, investors, and entrepreneurs from the UK, EU, Asia, and the United States in London for a one-day discussion on current-affairs topics such as China-US-Europe trilateral trade and investment relations, geopolitics, technology, energy transition, and global health challenges.
