China’s Strategic Investments – Implications for Denmark

AmCham’s Security Forum, in partnership with the U.S. Embassy & OSAC, are pleased to invite members to a discussion about Chinese investment strategy and its impact on business in Denmark, Nordics & the Artic.

As the new Biden administration completes its first 100 days in office, please join Heather Conley,  Senior Vice President for Europe, Eurasia, and the Arctic at the Center for Strategic & International Studies in Washington, D.C. for a discussion on the future of strategic competition between the United States and China, with a particular focus on its economic dimension and impact on U.S. allies. Drawing on CSIS research on Chinese investment patterns in Scandinavia and the Western Balkans, as well as China’s growing presence in the Arctic, Heather will share how to understand the ‘red flags’ of Chinese investment and how both nations and businesses should approach business with China.
