On April 2, 2025, the event titled "Breaking Through Compliance for Overseas Expansion: Exploring Opportunities in the UK under the CPTPP Framework" was successfully held at the Jiangsu Building in Shenzhen. This event was organized by the Shenzhen Strategic Cooperation Alliance for Going Global and the Roadlink GLB platform, with support from the China-Britain Business Council (CBBC), the Digital Economy Working Group of the CBBC, and the Institute of Public Accountants Group (IPA Group). Llinks partner Dr. David Pan, attended as a guest speaker and delivered an insightful presentation, providing valuable insights to business representatives.
During the event, Dr. Pan discussed the topic "CPTPP and the New Landscape of the UK Market," exploring opportunities and challenges brought by the UK's accession to the CPTPP for Chinese enterprises operating in the UK, interpreting CPTPP provisions, and discussing market access conditions and industrial opportunities in the UK.
Dr. Pan pointed out that the UK's accession to the CPTPP has created numerous opportunities for Chinese companies investing in the UK, such as enjoying multilateral tariff-free trade on most goods with many member countries. However, he also emphasized that companies must be aware of the complex CPTPP rules and strict compliance requirements, which are hurdles that must be overcome when expanding into the UK market. He stressed that companies should not only familiarize themselves with the provisions of the CPTPP but also develop comprehensive compliance plans in accordance with local UK laws and regulations to ensure business operations are conducted legally and in compliance.
The successful hosting of this event provided a great platform for communication among enterprises, promoting experience sharing and collaboration. In the future, Llinks will continue to leverage its professional advantages to offer comprehensive legal services, helping companies navigate the international stage confidently and seize more development opportunities.
