China Power Summit 2009. May 22-23, 2009 In Beijing.

By Dan Harris and Steve Dickinson

The China Power Summit is going to be in Beijing from May 22-23 this year and China Law Blog's own Steve Dickinson will be a featured speaker. Steve will be reprising (and updating) his speech on how foreign companies can best protect themselves when getting into Chinese joint ventures. Steve spoke on this last year at "JPMorgan?s Hands-On China Series" and at JP Morgan's China Conference. Joint ventures are a very common (and sometimes necessary) vehicle for foreign companies seeking to enter into China's energy and cleantech fields. I forgot to ask Steve if he would be speaking in Chinese or in English, but due to the nature of the topic, I am guessing it will be English. If you want to read more on Chinese joint ventures, check out Steve's AmCham China Brief article, "Avoiding Mistakes in Chinese Joint Ventures" and my Wall Street Journal article, "Joint Venture Jeopardy?" In addition to Steve, other speakers at this event will include the following: Shu Yingbiao Deputy General Manager China State Grid Corporation, China Xie Zhenhua Vice Chairman China Electricity Council Cao Peixi General Manager China Huaneng Group Zhao Ming Secretary General China ESCO Association Hu Xijie General Manager China International Engineering Consulting Corporation Mr. András Balogh President and CEO GEA EGI Contracting / Engineering Co.
