This members-only event is an opportunity to hear more about sector insights, network with members of the Chamber and Embassy staff, and enjoy a drink at one of Beijing's oldest pubs! Each month will have a different theme, celebrating the diversity of the Chamber's membership and the varied work that the British Embassy does here in Beijing. 

This month, join us for a discussion on leading female SME businesswomen in commemoration of International Women's Day on March 8th. Tying in with this year's IWD theme, "Invest in women: Accelerate progress," this month's event will delve into themes of female empowerment, relevance and belonging within the business landscape, with a particular focus on inspiring creativity, innovation, and inclusion for the current and next generation of bold female leaders. This event marks an opportunity to raise awareness to the challenges and opporuntiites faced by SME business leaders and to celebrate the achievements of strong female leaders. Join us for this thought-provoking panel discussion!

In China, there are lots of people, but not many have Rh-Negative Blood. Only 3 out of 1000 Chinese people have it. That's why it's called "panda blood". But in Europe, 15% of people have Rh-Negative blood.

China depends a lot on foreign donors to get enough Rh-Negative blood. Without their help, it would be hard to meet the demand.

If you're thinking about donating for the first time, don't worry. Listen to the story of someone who started as a beginner but became a regular donor for inspiration.
