On Wednesday June 23rd the British Chamber of Commerce in Taipei in conjunction with the European Chamber of Commerce held a special luncheon inviting Qu Hong-bin, Chief Analyst, HSBC China to give a presentation on China’s economic policies to local and international business leaders.

Qu Hong-bin also touched upon the prospects for trade relations between China and the West (the US and Europe) given increasing tension over currency exchange rates and the threat of rising protectionism.
