THIS EVENT WAS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED TO TAKE PLACE ON 28 MAY BUT HAS BEEN REARRANGED.

The advent of financial liberalization and economic globalization has driven Chinese companies to globalise. Starting a few years ago with a trickle of adventurous pioneers, these companies have steadily increased in number. Now they are poised to figure hugely in the global economy in the next decades.

Chatham House is holding this in partnership with CAIJING, one of China's leading business magazines. CAIJING editor Hu Shuli, is widely regarded as one of contemporary China's most influential journalists and editors. The conference will brings some of the shapers of Chinese corporation's global ambitions to the UK. Key UK corporate figures will also participate.

This forum aims to provide a platform for global entrepreneurs and investors to exchange ideas on this issue, in panel discussions covering the issues of integration into the global economy, political impact, and business strategy for Chinese companies.

Registration fee, inclusive of lunch and refreshments, for the conference is as follows:

• £30 - students and universities
• £65 - all others
