The 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) adopted a resolution on further deepening reform comprehensively to advance Chinese modernization at its third plenary session. 

In this special roundtable discussion on 'World Opportunities in Deepening China's Reform in the New Era', Ulla Nurmenniemi, executive director of FinnCham China and Pekka Nieminen, the general manager of Glaston Tianjin, shared their views about the opportunities for Finnish companies in China's further opening-up.

Ulla said she couldn't agree more with Chinese President Xi Jinping's speech about the worldwide influence of China's Reform and Opening-up. According to the latest business confidence survey report completed by the Finnish Chamber of Commerce in May this year, 76% of Finnish companies surveyed are optimistic about business development and investment in China in the coming three years.

Pekka Nieminen, the general manager of Glaston Tianjin, said that 60% of the world flat glass is produced in China.“So should China not be open, our business would be very difficult. Like we heard, this is not a small yard with high fences. This is an open market, which normally welcomes foreign companies to come and operate here and bring new innovative products,” he added.
