“C2 arrives at a critically important time for British business in China,” said Duncan Clark, Chairman, BDA China. “Against a backdrop of uncertain geopolitics, a global pandemic, and the unparalleled growth of the Chinese market, now more than ever, UK companies need to be working together to address their concerns and, importantly, pursue new opportunities. C2 provides an ideal forum for us to do this.”
