European Chamber: Subsidies benefit 53% of S. China members

ACCORDING to the European Chamber’s Business Confidence Survey 2018, which was released in Shenzhen on Friday, 53 percent of its South China members have benefited from subsidies, which is slightly above the national average.

“The company where I work has also benefited from subsidies. If you are doing your fair share in contribution to high tech, research and development, and so on, even as a foreign company, it is possible to receive subsidies. If you compare the Pearl River Delta with other areas of China, we are actually doing quite well in this part,” said George Lau, board chair of South China Chapter and vice president of the European Chamber.

Peter Helis was very surprised at the figure. “This figure far exceeded what I expected. What are the tips to getting those subsidies?” asked Helis.

Diana Du, a senior HR manager of Siemens Ltd. China, introduced that there are different categories of subsidies which have different criteria.

“Local governments want to attract more talents, so companies can also apply for subsidies if they have the leading talents in certain area. If you have some innovations or apply for some patents, you can apply for subsidies,” said Du.

Another highlight of the survey is that the majority of respondents have rated Chinese enterprises as equally or more innovative for the first time.

“Today 110 of Fortune 500 companies are Chinese. Out of the 260 global unicorns, 150 are Chinese. And now 60 percent of our member companies find that Chinese companies are competitive,” introduced Mats Harborn, president of European Union Chamber of Commerce in China.

Of the total of 532 European enterprises in China who joined the survey, 86 of them are based in South China. The enterprises come from different sectors, including industrial goods and services, professional services, and consumer goods and services.
