Dear Sponsors, Members and Friends,
IsCham will be honored to host a professional seminar for foreign enterprises, under the subject of “How a foreign enterprise faces critical operational and legal challenges in China?”, with our member InterTrust and Jordan Yang, on May 19th in IBCC.
In 2015, against the broadly publicized backdrop of a slowdown in economic growth rate and amidst heavy stock market volatility, China saw another year of steady growth in foreign direct investment (FDI). In fact, non-financial FDI (excluding banking, security and insurance data) into China reached an all-time high of USD 126.3 billion (*public statistics).
Whereas foreign enterprises and investors are getting more sophisticated in doing business in China, a lot may still find themselves confronted with confusing legal, tax, IP protection and other operational issues.
In this seminar, two main aspects will be covered. First of all, light will be shed on some commonly spot misconceptions among foreign investors, Jason Xu, General Manager Shanghai & Guangzhou office at Intertrust China will unfold true realities such as:

The seminar will be held in English. If you experience any problems with registration, please contact isabella.li@ischam.org
