Position Paper 2023: Conditional Optimism in Reopening

英商会建议书2023：疫情开放后，英企持谨慎乐观态度

China’s ability to restore its position as a leading global investment destination depends largely on the ability to regain a reputation for certainty, stability, and trust, finds the results of the British Business in China: Position Paper 2023.

While businesses are much more optimistic about their prospects in the market than they were a year ago, they say more needs to be done to improve consultation between businesses and the Chinese government, and level the unequal playing field between SOEs, domestic businesses, and international companies.

《在华英国企业建议书2023》的结果显示，中国能否能够重回其作为全球领先投资目的地的地位，很大程度上取决于其能否重新树立具有确定性、稳定性和可信度的市场声誉。
尽管与一年前相比，企业对中国的市场前景变得更加乐观，但企业认为中国应该采取更多措施，加强企业与中国政府之间的沟通，并为国有企业、国内企业和外资企业创造公平的竞争环境，解决不公平竞争问题。

This year’s Position Paper features analysis across seven sectors, from automotives and energy, to consumer goods and the built environment. Its findings are based upon dozens of interviews and roundtables with member companies, relevant stakeholders, industry experts and policy analysts, and is one of the two major annual publications from the Chamber.

今年的建议书深度分析了七个关键行业，包括汽车、能源、消费品和建筑环境服务等。该建议书的分析结果基于中国英国商会与其会员企业、利益相关者、行业专家和政策分析师进行的多次访谈和圆桌讨论。该建议书是中国英国商会两大主要年度报告之一。

Still, British businesses highlight many reasons to be optimistic about the Chinese market; 86% of businesses are optimistic about China’s market potential in the long-term, and almost three-fifths of businesses are more optimistic now travel has resumed.

To make sure China is able to realise its full market potential, the British Chamber of Commerce is calling for concrete action to improve transparency, restore competition, and reduce uncertainty.

尽管面临一些挑战，英国企业仍然强调了对中国市场感到乐观的多个理由；有86%的企业对中国市场的长期潜力感到乐观，并且随着旅行逐渐恢复，近五分之三的企业对中国市场前景感到更加乐观。

为了确保中国能够充分释放其市场潜力，中国英国商会呼吁中国采取具体措施，以提高透明度、恢复竞争和减少不确定性。
