Forthcoming debate at The British Chamber of Commerce in China with Adam Williams

The British Chamber of Commerce in China presents:

BUSINESS LEADERS DEBATE: “THE CURRENT ECONOMY AND CHINA’S ROLE”

Join Seven BritCham Chairs, Past and Present, for a Debate on Impact of the Crisis on Foreign Business in China and the Future for the UK and Chinese Economies.

Tuesday, 17th March 2009

China has enjoyed unprecedented growth over the past thirty years but the current world economic crisis is raising many concerns, not only about the banking and financial services industry, but also about the underlying principles of the way we will do business in the future. How are these issues affecting both Chinese and British business and what may the future hold for the two economies?”

This is a unique event: the first time we have gathered together Chairs of the British Chamber of Commerce for a panel discussion. It is an opportunity to interact with a highly experienced and influential panel of business leaders who will share their analysis and perspectives on issues that matter to British business in China, and it promises to be a lively and wide-ranging debate.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to put questions to the panel.

The Panel:
* Brian Outlaw, China-Britain Business Council
* Adam Williams, Jardine Matheson (China) Ltd
* Peter Batey, Vermillion Partners Ltd
* Jean-Marie Gescher, CGA-China
* Gary Dirks, BP
* Michael Fosh, Herbert Smith

Moderator:
Nigel Clark, China Central Goldfields PLC and current Chairman of the British Chamber of Commerce.
