The StandICT.eu Standards Training Academy hosted a webinar diving into China's standardisation strategies in ICT on 30 Sept 2024 from 11:00 to 12:30 CEST (16:00 – 17:30 China Standard Time).
Introduction
In the last decades, China has become a well-established and strong actor in international standardisation, particularly in ICT.
The webinar aimed to provide an update China's ICT standardisation strategies and activities in general, followed by a closer look at its activities in ICT. We first discussed the opportunities and challenges China, and its actors face in international standardisation. Then, we focused on the implications for the EU before identifying opportunities for further collaboration and joining forces for reciprocal benefits and address global challenges.
