Unable to attend the in-person event? Join our online launch of the Position Paper 2020!


The British Chamber Position Paper is a report created by the British chambers of commerce in China to provide advocacy and representation on behalf of British businesses operating in China. In these unprecedented times, there is more need than ever for British businesses to be able to speak with a strong, unified voice.


British businesses across a range of sectors in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong and Southwest China come together to raise the regulatory barriers that they face, areas of opportunity for bilateral cooperation and recommendations for market access reform.

The Paper is directly presented to the UK and China governments in order to directly inform trade policy and negotiations.

BritCham has collated input from our member companies on the difficulties they face in China, as well as the opportunities they see. Join us to learn:


-What the biggest barriers facing British businesses in China are


-Which sectors have seen the most improvement and which have seen increasing restrictions


-Where the opportunities are for British businesses in 2020
