As a national-level platform for global economic and trade cooperation, the 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE) 2025 will officially open on November 5. Guided by the core concept of "New Era, Shared Future," this year's CIIE continues to deepen its role as a platform for "buying globally, selling globally, and benefiting globally," injecting strong momentum into the development of an open world economy. The 2025 CIIE Shanghai Conference, held concurrently from November 6 to 9 as a core supporting event of the CIIE, builds on the achievements of the inaugural session and achieves comprehensive upgrades in scale, depth of topics, and platform functionality. Through a specialized matrix of sub-forums, it aims to build bridges for cross-border collaboration and engagement. Among these, the "Chinese Enterprises Going Global - Criminal Compliance and Risk Control" forum, hosted by Dacheng Shanghai and co-supported by the Pudong New Area Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese and the Criminal Law School of East China University of Political Science and Law, along with the "Chinese Enterprises Investing In the EU - Legal & Regulatory Compliance and Risk Control" forum, jointly hosted by Dacheng Shanghai and Shanghai Enterprise "Going Global" Comprehensive Service Center, with support from the Pudong New Area Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese and the Law School of Shanghai International Studies University, will be held successively on November 7 at the Primus Hotel Shanghai Hongqiao. These forums represent a key implementation of the CIIE’s service trade exhibition area’s core positioning of "connecting industries, connecting China."

Key to Successful Global Expansion
Forum Builds a High-Value Enablement Platform

Against the backdrop of profound adjustments in the global economic landscape, Chinese enterprises are transitioning from scale expansion to quality enhancement in their "going global" journey, where compliance management has become a core competitiveness for participating in the global value chain. As a critical link connecting domestic and international markets, the China International Import Expo (CIIE) serves not only as a showcase for goods and technologies but also as a highland of professional services dedicated to breaking down barriers in cross-border cooperation and fostering consensus on compliance-driven development. The twin forums hosted by Dacheng Shanghai are precisely focused on addressing common legal challenges faced by Chinese enterprises expanding overseas. This initiative not only fulfills and exemplifies CIIE's mission of "empowering industrial upgrading" but also responds to the demand for high-quality development in global economic and trade exchanges.

Master Global Risk Control
Build Secure Overseas Operations

As key professional events during the China International Import Expo focusing on compliance for Chinese enterprises expanding overseas, the two forums establish a comprehensive service framework by addressing both global risk prevention and deep engagement with regional markets. Hosted by Dacheng Shanghai and jointly supported by the Pudong New Area Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese and the Criminal Law School of East China University of Political Science and Law, the "Chinese Enterprises Going Global - Criminal Compliance and Risk Control" forum adopts a global perspective to tackle prominent challenges such as differences in legal systems and complex enforcement environments in cross-border operations. The forum brings together authoritative voices from government, industry, academia, and research to systematically analyze the evolution patterns and prevention logic of cross-border criminal risks. It will focus on core areas including overseas integrity compliance, anti-cross-border corruption, anti-commercial bribery, and disclosure risks for listed companies. Through professional interpretation and case studies, the forum aims to provide theoretical foundations and practical guidance for building end-to-end risk prevention systems, helping enterprises strengthen their "safety shield" for international operations.

Seize China-EU Opportunities
Decode Regional Investment Prospects

Marking the 50th anniversary of China-EU diplomatic relations, the "Chinese Enterprises Investing In the EU - Legal & Regulatory Compliance and Risk Control" forum—jointly hosted by Dacheng Shanghai and Shanghai Enterprise "Going Global" Comprehensive Service Center, with support from the Pudong New Area Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese and the Law School of Shanghai International Studies University—holds special significance for deepening China-EU economic and trade cooperation. As China and the European Parliament have fully lifted mutual exchange restrictions, the EU market, with its mature industrial ecosystem and vast development space, has become a key destination for Chinese enterprises expanding overseas. Centering on critical issues such as the EU's new FDI screening regulations, trade policy adjustments, green transition, and data compliance requirements, the forum integrates professional expertise across legal practice, market research, and policy interpretation to provide precise navigation for Chinese enterprises seizing new opportunities in China-EU collaboration. The forum will further smooth the compliance pathway for Chinese enterprises entering the European market, building a professional communication bridge to advance China-EU economic and trade cooperation to deeper and higher-quality development. Notably, the event will feature the release of the "Practical Guide to EU Investment Law for Chinese Enterprises," compiled by Dacheng Shanghai and the joint center. This guide includes typical service cases handled by the two organizers in recent years, alongside professional research articles authored by seasoned lawyers, offering an authoritative reference that balances practicality and guidance for Chinese enterprises investing in the EU. Participating companies will gain direct access to first-hand policy insights, market analysis, and practical guidance, achieving a fourfold value enhancement: policy interpretation, opportunity forecasting, resource connectivity, and practical direction.

Forge cross-sector collaboration
Build a premium value ecosystem

The hosting of these two forums vividly embodies the CIIE's commitment to "empowering the real economy through trade in services," highlighting the foundational role of professional legal services in global economic and trade cooperation. Leveraging its profound expertise in cross-border legal practice and global resource integration capabilities, Dacheng Shanghai Office, in collaboration with government service agencies, academic institutions, and other stakeholders, will establish a high-level platform for policy-business-academia dialogue through these forums. The forums will not only provide professional compliance support for Chinese enterprises expanding overseas but also foster global consensus on compliance governance, contributing professional expertise to the development of an open, inclusive, balanced, and win-win framework for economic globalization.

It is reported that the two forums will bring together representatives from government, business, academia, and research sectors. Through thematic presentations and round-table discussions, they will facilitate in-depth alignment of professional insights with practical needs. As key professional events during the 8th CIIE, the forums will serve as a significant window to showcase China's capabilities in foreign-related legal services and advance global economic and trade compliance development.
