Event Details

The Chinese government plays multiple roles in the economy, yet its complicated structure and policy release process make it difficult for foreign-funded enterprises who are not familiar with government affairs to maneuver. Lack of familiarity with new policies and their implications can harm your business and lead to bad decisions. Moreover, ineffective communication with government officials can hold companies back, especially during crises.

This course is intended for non-Government Affairs practitioners who are seeking to deepen their understanding of Chinese government affairs and advocacy practices to achieve better business results. Specifically, the program focuses on how to identify the right stakeholders, build win-win solutions, and communicate effectively with the government.

This half-day workshop is suitable for people from all departments in an organization, including Finance and Human Resources. Through the workshop, you will develop a basic but deep understanding of government affairs and gain essential skills to achieve your business advocacy.
This course will be conducted in Chinese.
