AustCham Beijing Newsletter
28 August 2015

 
August was another active month for AustCham with a special focus on e-commerce, launch of a Tianjin Chamber presence and AustCham again active in the media.
 
AustCham Beijing’s General Manager, Nick Coyle, was recently interviewed by Aaron Kearney on 1233 ABC Newcastle Radio speaking about China’s far-reaching impact on the Australian economy.
 
AustCham Beijing's Secretary, Tom Luckock, was also in the media this month on CCTV News, Global Business, regarding a recent economic dialogue held in Canberra. Tom highlighted the difficulties present around implementing the Australia and China FTA, but emphasised the importance of the dialogue in addressing potential problems within the agreement and ensuring issues were alleviated prior to implementation

On August 12th AustCham Beijing launched its ‘Retail & E-commerce Working Group’ at Sofitel Wanda Beijing. The aim of the launch was to gauge interest for the creation of a regular retail and e-commerce working group, whereby industry experts could work together and share ideas more effectively.

The much anticipated AustCham Tianjin Launch Event was held on the 14th at The Westin Tianjin, two nights after the devastating Tianjin Explosion, of which AustCham would like to send our sincere and deepest condolences to all those affected. The event was held with the purpose of better connecting the Australian business community in Tianjin, as well as building support for a dedicated chamber. The event was well attending by 50 attendees from the Beijing and Tianjin community and AustCham looks forward to our next event in Tianjin in October. 

This month we have also revamped and improved our AustCham Beijing's WeChat platform by publishing daily WeChat posts to ensure our members stay up-to-date in regards to News, Working Group Updates, Chamber Events and Member News. We will greatly appreciate any feedback on this new initiative or content suggestions. 
 
Join us tonight for Aussie Drinks at 
Pudao Wines Beijing.
