Many international chemical companies believe that China is crucial for their future as a market, a manufacturing and supply base, a source of talent and innovation.

Chinese chemical companies are clearly aware that the Chinese market has a great attraction to foreign chemical companies, so they know that this may give them an advantage in negotiations to achieve localization of demand, including research and development capabilities, advanced technologies, new generation technology licensing, innovative manufacturing processes, or a combination of the two.

When considering China's strategy, executives need to assess whether they can find the right chemical reactions in the Chinese market, what they can bring to the Communist Party and use them as their business advantages.At this webinar, we will review how international chemical companies can seize opportunities and innovations in the fast-growing Chinese market to gain competitive advantage.

We will also discuss their intellectual property considerations and strategies.

The webinar will focus on the following aspects of the chemical industry and provide some practical suggestions:Overview of recent market trends and business transactionsKey intellectual property considerations and concerns for acquisition, protection and localization innovationIP risk management is seeking business opportunities through investment, joint venture or merger and acquisition transactionsChina is both a challenge and an opportunity for international enterprises.

It is very important for international chemical companies to develop and implement effective Chinese intellectual property strategy.

Taiwan is planning to bolt out video streaming services from Chinese tech giants Tencent and Baidu.

While such services are apparently effectively unlawful in oneself administering island republic, Tencent’s WeTV and Baidu’s iQiyi presently work under a legal loophole that permits them to partner with local companies.

Presently, Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs states that Taiwanese companies won't have the option to offer these types of assistance as of September third.The move shows how Chinese tech companies are confronting expanding trouble in driving into different markets as geopolitical tensions on rising.

President Trump has taken the decision of banning Tencent's WeChat and ordered ByteDance to strip itself of TikTok's US activities, while India blocked 69 Chinese applications previously.Taiwan doesn't have official diplomatic relations with the majority of the world and China claims Taiwan as its own region.

Its complex political status goes back to the Chinese Civil War that at last prompted the Communist party to establish the People's Republic of China on the territory in 1949 and the Nationalist party retreating to Taiwan.

Today, Taiwan is represented as a popularity based country of around 24 million individuals.

These days, given 21st century technology, it is increasingly difficult to tell the difference between the two.

For instance, if one dismissed the Terminator films as pure fantasy, governments may actually be working on developing autonomous killer robots.

Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk warns that artificial intelligence (AI) is the rare case where regulation should be proactive rather than reactive.

Otherwise, among other things, we may soon have a situation where robots run down the streets shooting people.While America was always big on technology, it is at least having these ethical debates.

But ethical constraints are unlikely in that other country which also has great faith in technology and is investing heavily in AI: China.

At a time when China’s cheap labour advantage is rapidly fading, robots in factories can sustain its lead in manufacturing: you don’t need to pay robots a wage.

According to Reuters, China will play hardball with India if the latter ultimately blocks Huawei.

The issue reportedly came about due to India’s upcoming 5G trials.

The country has not yet decided whether to invite Huawei to take part in the trials.

Vikram Misri, India’s ambassador to China, was then reportedly called to the Chinese foreign ministry in response to India’s lack of a decision.

During the meeting, Chinese officials reportedly talked with Misri about the U.S. trying to keep Huawei out of 5G infrastructure worldwide.

The officials also said there would be “reverse sanctions” on Indian firms doing business in China if India blocks Huawei due to pressure from the U.S.
