In the final episode in this series recorded before a live audience in China, John is joined by Richard Ma, Founder of the Dahui law firm; Xiao Liu, Quinn Emanuel's Chair of China Practice and Chief Representative of the Beijing Office; and Yixuan Zhu, partner in Quinn Emanuel's Beijing office.  They discuss building their respective firms, establishing their firms' cultures, global expansion strategies, and challenges in cross-border legal practice.  Dahui was established to better serve clients, particularly in fast-evolving new economy industries like technology, media, telecommunications, and healthcare.  Dahui adopted a boutique approach—being the best at what it did and providing full-service legal support to its clients.  Expanding carefully, the firm analyzes whether expanding into a new city will assist its clients and whether it can attract top tier local talent.  The Chinese legal market is also trending towards firms expanding into “second-tier” Chinese cities such as Wuhan, Nanjing, and Chongqing where an increasing number of disputes arise.  Quinn Emanuel's global expansion has been largely talent-driven and opportunistic, seeking exceptional lawyers to open offices rather than following a predetermined plan.  In addition, the globalization of business has led to a globalization of disputes with proceedings in multiple jurisdictions and key witnesses living around the world.  Firms with talented lawyers throughout the world are simply better suited to effectively represent clients in such cases.  Both firms work to maintain firm cultures that emphasizes competitiveness and client service.  Quinn Emanuel has a tradition of sending firm wide "victory emails" to celebrate case wins and instill a results-driven mindset.  Dahui values commitment to precision and professionalism, ensuring high standards in legal work.  On the evolving Chinese legal market, Dahui bridges the gap between international clients and China's regulatory landscape, correcting misconceptions and ensuring successful investments and dispute resolutions.  As Chinese companies continue to expand globally, demand for international dispute resolution will likely rise.  Legal complexities stemming from U.S.-China tensions will also likely provide opportunities for experienced litigators to navigate shifting regulatory and geopolitical landscapes.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

Digitalization is becoming increasingly important in businesses to enhance flexibility and efficiency across the entire value chain. The pace of digital adoption, transformation, and delivery in recent years has accelerated exponentially. More and more businesses are applying digital practices and technology in their operations. On April 17, 2023, the Vietnamese government issued the first-ever Personal Data Protection Decree (PDPD).

These climate conditions provide a year-round growing season for a wide variety of fruits and vegetables.  2023 can be considered a fruitful year for Vietnam's fruit and vegetable export market. Statistics from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development showed that the export turnover was estimated at $3.45 billion in the first eight months of this year, an increase of 57.5 percent over the same period last year.The export of vegetables and fruits from Vietnam to Europe has shown significant growth compared to the same period last year. The potential for exporting vegetables and fruits to Europe remains substantial. On the other side, the Vietnamese vegetable and fruit industry faces fierce competition with both the EU internal market and export markets with large fruit and vegetable processing industries, such as Peru, Morocco, South Africa, Mexico, China, and India. However, we have successfully leveraged the opportunities brought about by the EVFTA, initially exploring, and succeeding in markets with large import volumes such as France and Germany. These are highly encouraging successes.Let's join our guests in this podcast episode to explore the potential of this market, its challenges, and opportunities, as well as solutions to enhance trade between the two countries in the fresh fruit and vegetable sector, a highly promising industry:Mr. Dang Phuc Nguyen, General Secretary of Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association (VINAFRUIT)Ms. Helly Nguyen, Head of International Sales Department, ANTFARM - Vietnamese exporters to the European marketMr. Marko Walde, Chief Representative of AHK in Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, and LaosModerator: Ms. Mai Le, AHK Vietnam***AHK Vietnam is the Representative in Vietnam for Messe Berlin, where the leading trade show for fresh produce – Fruit Logistica 2024 – will take place from 7-9 February 2024.

ICMA's Chief Representative for Asia Pacific, Mushtaq Kapasi, reports on recent Asia-Pacific market developments highlighted in the Quarterly Report.

Cambodia is one of the fastest-growing economies in Southeast Asia, with a GDP growth rate of 5.2% in 2022. The country has successfully transformed from a post-conflict nation to a dynamic market economy, attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) from various sources and sectors. According to a new report by the National Bank of Cambodia, FDI inflows in Cambodia between mid-1994 and end-2021 amounted to $41 billion, rising by 11.2% from the end of 2020. FDI has been a key driver of Cambodia's export diversification and sophistication, especially in the garment, footwear, electronics, and agro-processing sectors.In Part II of the podcast series about the CLMV Sub-region, we will explore the favorable environment Cambodia is offering foreign investors who are looking for new opportunities in Southeast Asia by talking to the experts: -          Marko Walde, Chief Representative of AHKs in Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos-          Michelle Zhao, Manager for Operation, Phnom Penh Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Ltd. Hosted by Trang Dao, Head of Business Development Services, AHK Vietnam, this episode also includes discussion about challenges and risks that investors may face, and how they can overcome them with assistance of reliable partners such as SEZ and AHK that offer diverse supports for companies' business success. ***AHK is glad to assist you with advice and guidance on your interest in doing business in Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar.

In episode #30 of AHK Vietnam Podcast, we invite you to join us in a talk show where the host and our guest speakers have discussed the drivers of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Vietnam and the crucial role that German education and training systems play in the country's development. Nowadays, Vietnam constantly attracts significant amounts of FDI not only from small and medium-sized enterprises but also from large corporates, especially for German companies which are now diversifying their interest in Asia. One of the key factors driving this growth is the young and willing-to-learn population, and that's why we want to explore how remarkably suitable education and training affect the quality of the labour force in Vietnam.  Dr. Tomas Benz, President of the Vietnamese German University (VGU), and Marko Walde, Chief Representative of AHK Vietnam were bringing to the table insightful contributions from the perspective of an “educator” and a “consultor”. Join us to understand how German strong education and training system plays a significant role in the country's economic success and how German dual vocational education and training in Vietnam contribute to the FDI landscape in Vietnam.  To meet the high demand from numerous foreign companies in Vietnam for finding skilled workers, it is crucial to improve the education and training system. This improvement must happen not only in universities, colleges, or institutions but also in terms of vocational training programs since it is highly valued by German investors. While technological development has made a progress and amazed the world with various applications of AI, young people must put more effort into developing skills and expertise to remain competitive and keep up with global trends. All of these aspects would be raised and enlightened in this talk show guided by the host – Ms. Trang Dao, Head of Business Development Services of AHK Vietnam. So, sit back, relax, and join us for this informative and engaging episode.  *** The talk show is part of AHK Vietnam's campaign to celebrate 10 years of our Vocational Education and Training (VET) project in Vietnam since 2013.

Mit der 100. Folge habe ich mir einen großen Wunsch erfüllt mit dem ich seit Längerem schwanger gegangen bin: Eine gemeinsame Podcastfolge mit den drei (Ex-)Haus-Meistern Andy Dietrich, Andreas Schulten und Thomas Beyerle. In Ihrem Podcastformat haben sie ein paar Jahre die Immobilienmythen entmystifiziert aber dann im Oktober 2022 in einem großen Live-Finale auf der EXPO-Real zur Überraschung ihrer treuen Fangemeinde gesagt: Auch die schönste Reise muss irgendwann ein Ende nehmen. Andy Dietrich ist in seinem wirklichen Berufsleben stolzer Spielermacher der Strategiekollegen aus Berlin, Andreas Schulten ist Chief Representative der bulwiengesa und Thomas Beyerle Analyst und Managing Director der Catella sowie Professor für Allg. BWL und Research im Masterstudiengang Betriebswirtschaft (Bau und Immobilien) an der Hochschule Biberach. In dieser Jubiläumsfolge InnoFM besprechen wir warum die drei ihren Podcast "Die Haus-Meister" genannt hatten, ob sie über ein Revival nachdenken oder tatsächlich auf den Lifetime-Immobilienaward warten, klären ob ChatGTP Die Haus-Meister kennt, diskutieren die "steile These": Die Ergebnisse der 30 Stunden-Beratung des Koalitionsausschusses bedeuten ein Rückschritt für den Klimaschutz im Immobiliensektor, legen offen wie die drei Haus-Meister auf die Bühne gegangen wären wenn sie den ImmobilienAward in der Kategorie Kommunikation gewonnen hätten, und diskutieren schließlich eine These, die Philipp Pausder, CEO und Gründer von Thermondo, im Morning Briefing Podcast von Gabor Steingart bzgl. der Effizienzreserven im Handwerk zum Besten gegeben hat.

China's economy and its markets have faced a number of headwinds in 2022. Slowing growth, geopolitical uncertainty, the impact of the country's Covid policy, and how the PBOC, or the Chinese central bank, is manoeuvring how they ease monetary and fiscal policy as most other global banks move in a more hawkish direction. But despite all that, the opening up of China's onshore financial markets has been kicking into high gear throughout this same period. In fact, we've seen a drumbeat of announcements about the world's biggest investment companies, Fidelity International included, moving deeper into China's onshore market, either by setting up wholly-owned local subsidiaries or, for instance, many global banks who have been taking control of their existing joint ventures. In this episode, Catherine Yeung, Investment Director, and Marty Dropkin, Head of Equities, Asia Pacific, are joined by Jing Ning, a senior advisor for China equities, and Alvin Cheng, Fixed Income Portfolio Manager, to discuss how China's local markets and its onshore investment industry are opening, expanding, and ever evolving. With additional contributions from Helen Huang, Managing Director, China, Senan Yuen, Head of Investment, China, and Lily Cong, Chief Representative, Beijing Representative Office. Read more at fidelityinternational.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

China’s labour pool is shrinking as the population ages and more people retire than enter the workforce. How people save and invest as they think about wealth preservation signals big challenges and opportunities for China’s pension system development. So, how will government policy seek to ensure that the corporate sector remains dynamic and innovative, and can keep attracting the talent it needs? What sectors stand to benefit as a very different, younger generation increases its purchasing power? To help investigate these questions and more, Paras Anand, Global Chief Investment Officer for Asia Pacific, is joined by three of Fidelity’s portfolio managers, each with a keen interest in the changes underway in China’s population: Aneta Wynimko, Hyomi Jie, and Morgan Lau.
