Past Events

With U.S. President Joe Biden now at the helm of the world's biggest economy, investors will need to pay attention to his policy priorities. Benjamin Kostrzewa, International Trade Attorney, Hogan Lovells, and Dr Simon Shen, Adjunct Associate Professor, Faculty of Social Science, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, spoke at the Chamber’s Americas Committee webinar on 19 March about the likely developments in U.S.-China relations under the Biden administration and their possible impact on Hong Kong.

Kostrzewa gave an overview of how U.S.-China relations have evolved since 2000. He added that Hong Kong companies should pay attention to any relevant developments such as rule changes in the U.S, as well as establish effective compliance programmes to address both U.S. and Chinese export control laws or possible sanctions requirements. Dr Shen said that he expected the U.S. to take a more proactive approach towards tackling China, and that Hong Kong's financial status would become a proxy battlefield in the cold war between China and the U.S.
