At OHP, we are unique in having a dedicated 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙖 𝘿𝙚𝙨𝙠 and a large number of Chinese clients whom we support on a daily basis. That is precisely why we believe it is so important to stay closely connected with our partners in 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙖.

On 6 November, Otterspeer, Haasnoot & Partners had the pleasure of welcoming a delegation from 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙖’𝙨 𝙃𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙣 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚, together with lawyers Aram van Bunge and Kelly Both from Ten Holter Noordam advocaten.

This 𝙃𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙣 𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 consisted of representatives who travel internationally to strengthen economic trade, environmental and cultural ties. In this case, the group included members of the 𝙃𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙣 𝘽𝙖𝙧 𝘼𝙨𝙨𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 and the 𝙃𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙣 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝘼𝙧𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙩, who updated us on the latest Chinese legislation and the many business opportunities arising from it.

Hainan is home to the 𝙃𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙣 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙋𝙤𝙧𝙩 (𝙁𝙏𝙋), a major national initiative by 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙖 aimed at transforming the island into an influential free trade hub. This makes Hainan a strategic region for international trade and investment.

In a session of approximately 2.5 hours, Michiel Suijker and Weimin Hansen-Feng (OHP), together with Aram van Bunge and Kelly Both, provided the delegation with further insight into:

• Resolving international commercial disputes.
• Integrating trade compliance and cross-border tax planning.
• The opportunities that closer cooperation between Hainan and Europe can offer in the future.

At OHP, we are excited to continue building the bridge between the Chinese and European legal and business communities.
