| | | | China’s 2035 climate pledges commit to cutting CO2 emissions across the entire economy by 7 to 10 percent from peak levels by 2035. For businesses, it signals a tightening regulatory environment, with growing pressure to align operations and reporting with China’s long-term decarbonization strategy. | | | | | This year, the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival will jointly have 8 days off. Private companies in China, however, have the right to determine their own schedules—that is, allow for additional days off—so long as the official holiday calendar is maintained. | | | | | Chinese cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen are emerging as global innovation hubs in AI and advanced technologies. These tech hubs offer foreign investors targeted opportunities in futuristic sectors such as biotech, smart manufacturing, and semiconductors. | | | | | Sovereign wealth funds from the Middle East, particularly GCC markets—which accounted for over 60 percent of China’s sovereign inflows in 2024—are fueling investment growth across China’s finance, digital infrastructure, energy, renewables, and logistics sectors. | | | | | US-China tariff rates have become increasingly complex, shaped by years of escalating trade actions and policy shifts. With overlapping measures such as Section 301 tariffs, the recent reciprocal duties, and product-specific controls, understanding what applies in 2025 can be challenging. | | | | | New policies strengthen food safety, promote domestic competitiveness, and open high-value segments to foreign players. We discuss key changes and their implications for industry stakeholders across dairy, health foods, and cross-border e-commerce. |
