European companies in China weakened by the risks of a “less predictable” market. 55% of the 1,700 members of the European Chamber of Commerce in Beijing report a business climate that is “ more politicized than last year” “Something will have to change because Europe cannot simply accept that the strategically viable industries constituting the European industrial base are withdrawn from the market,” declared Jens Eskelund.
Some are strengthening their presence on the Chinese market to increase their location, others on the contrary decide to move their investments and/or part of their operations outside the country.
