New developments have led to increasing pressure on all those involved in 
development projects, including the NDRC, Ministry of Commerce and local 
politicians. Increasingly, accountability for approval of large-scale industrial 
developments is being demanded of politicians, strategists, planners and 
economists. There is a growing concern about the conversion of agricultural land to 
industrial use, the engagement and satisfaction of local communities, energy and 
resources management, construction site safety, environmental management, 
resettlement and compensation, and crisis management as well as emergency-
preparedness of new developments.

Recent changes in Chinese legislation, more specific implementation regulations and 
better understanding by officials at national, provincial and local level are to 
bring about significant changes in project approval processes in China.

The presentation has two objectives:

Firstly, it will provide business leaders with insight into how the recent shift in 
Chinese policy will affect their business environment. What new liabilities does it 
entail? What new opportunities will arise?  

Secondly, the presentation will discuss how the regulatory framework in China is 
different from the Western framework, but more importantly, it will also shed light 
on how clued-up business leaders can align with China's new 5 year plan to enhance 
their business relations with local government and increase business success, 
especially in Second Tier Cities.
