China’s Next Five Years: Strategic Direction, Green Developments, and Implications for European Business

China is entering a phase in which industrial policy, economic security, and environmental objectives are increasingly integrated into a single strategic direction. For European companies, China is no longer just a growth market—it is a systemic actor shaping supply chains, regulatory norms, technology pathways, and competitive dynamics.

This session provides a structured briefing on China’s latest Five-Year Plan and recent policy developments, with a focused lens on sustainability and regulatory evolution. The objective is to help European business leaders interpret direction of travel, anticipate policy shifts, and understand what the near-term outlook means for strategy, operations, and risk exposure.

Speaker: Minji Xie, Senior Researcher, China Center for Economics and Business, The Conference Board 

Moderator: Anuj Saush, Head of Advisory

Format: 25-minute structured briefing followed by 25-minute moderated Q&A
