With the Chinese Communist Party’s 18th Congress having convened last November and the new leadership of the PRC taking their positions, 2013 should be one of change and opportunity for companies expanding into or operating in China. As the Chinese New Year approaches, Chase, KPMG, and Nixon Peabody will convene a panel of thought leaders, with extensive experience in doing business in and with China, to discuss the current business climate and trends to be mindful of over the next few months.
