Today, the Chamber's mission is to champion British businesses on their quest for success in China<\/span>. We achieve this through powerful advocacy, knowledge sharing, market experience as well as an active programme of events and products curated for our network of members. Our vision is to be the most valued organisation advancing British businesses in China<\/span>.<\/p> \n In May 2019<\/span>, four British chambers of commerce in mainland China<\/span> launched the inaugural Position Paper<\/i> for UK business in China<\/span>. This report was a special milestone, as it represents the culmination of two years of reform of the British chambers of commerce in China<\/span>. Four British chambers of commerce representing Beijing<\/span> (China<\/span>), Shanghai<\/span>, Guangdong<\/span>, and the Southwest are now working together for members representing a single combined voice of British business in China<\/span>.<\/p> \n This report was the culmination of feedback from a number of roundtables, interviews and surveys focusing on the business environment and market access issues for UK member businesses operating in China<\/span>. The second Position Paper was launched on 9 June 2020<\/span>. <\/p> \n
