The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is delighted to invite you to a half day conference on Anti-Corruption & Compliance from 14:30 to 17:30 on 13^th May 2014.

President Xi Jinping’s current campaign against political corruption is growing into one of the broadest in modern Chinese history, ensnaring dozens of businessmen and government officials, as well as positioning Xi as the country’s most powerful leader in decades. As such, the ongoing campaign is regarded as the most ambitious anti-corruption drive within China in recent decades.

Against this backdrop, we have invited several experts on compliance and other related fields to introduce the Chinese government’s new anti-bribery focus, best practices on how to comply with it, as well as the impact the still evolving situation has on European companies domestically.
