Seminar Content

Incidents such as the prosecution of Japanese businessmen for alleged violations of the Anti-Espionage Law, and attacks on children attending Japanese schools in China—

These events have become significant sources of anxiety for Japanese expatriates, their families, and those planning assignments in China.

Even if your company has implemented safety management measures, you may still be questioning whether your current system is sufficient or requires revision.

Effective crisis management requires sound judgment based on accurate information. However, due to strict information controls in China, understanding local realities remains challenging.

Access to reliable, real-time information greatly impacts the sense of security for expatriates and their families, as well as the overall effectiveness of organizational safety management.

This seminar will deliver insights into risks in Chinese business that are not covered by mainstream news—

including the worsening anti-Japanese sentiment on the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII, the latest developments in China, and recent Anti-Espionage Law cases—

alongside concrete strategies to prevent problems before they occur.

The speaker, from a law firm with extensive experience supporting Japanese companies in China, will provide clear, practical explanations based on firsthand experience.

Through expert insights, participants will gain multiple perspectives to address the concerns of expatriates and their families, directly enhancing organizational safety management.

We hope this seminar helps clarify your company’s safety concerns and strengthens your organization’s overall response capabilities, contributing to the sustainable advancement of your China business.
