China’s ability to restore its position as a leading global investment destination depends largely on the ability to regain a reputation for certainty, stability, and trust, finds the results of the British Business in China: Position Paper 2023.
While businesses are much more optimistic about their prospects in the market than they were a year ago, they say more needs to be done to improve consultation between businesses and the Chinese government, and level the unequal playing field between SOEs, domestic businesses, and international companies.
Still, British businesses highlight many reasons to be optimistic about the Chinese market; 86% of businesses are optimistic about China’s market potential in the long-term, and almost three-fifths of businesses are more optimistic now travel has resumed.
To make sure China is able to reach its full market potential, the British Chamber of Commerce is calling for concrete action, to improve transparency, restore competition, and reduce uncertainty.

The UK Government & the Government of the Kingdom of Cambodia are launching the Developing Countries Trading Scheme…
The Developing Countries Trading Scheme (DCTS) offers a generous set of trading preferences for developing countries to diversify exports and expand their economies. The DCTS will also help UK businesses access hundreds of products from around the globe at lower prices, reducing costs for UK consumers.
The scheme means that a wide variety of products – from clothes and shoes to foods that aren’t widely produced in the UK including olive oil and tomatoes – will benefit from lower or zero tariffs. Cambodian businesses and key stakeholders attending the launch event can find out how to leverage the new scheme and address existing market access barriers.
This event suits British businesses either exporting goods and services to Cambodia or importing goods and services from Cambodia to the UK.
