stars Webinar series – “Staying in Dialogue with China” 2023

With the decision to drop the strict Covid measures announced by China’s National Health Commission on 7th December 2022, and travel in and out of the country facilitated again, this year shall also bring to an end a 3-year spell for the Stein am Rhein Symposium (stars) without holding a China symposium. Until then, and in light of the current infection waves on the ground as well as the upcoming ‘Two Sessions’ in March, we decided to follow-up on last year’s successful execution of the “Staying in Dialogue with China” webinar series with a new edition for 2023.

This 2nd edition will bring you seven webinars with China-based experts between February and September 2023. In that, we were happy to cooperate with the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China (EUCCC), the China Europe International Business School (CEIBS), the Swiss-Chinese Chamber of Commerce (SCCC), the Danish-Chinese Business Forum (DCBF), SwissCham China, the Danish Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong and China Netzwerk Baden-Württemberg (CNBW) as well as with Caixin Global as media partner and the China Macro Group as knowledge partner.
