European companies in China are under pressure from slower growth, overcapacity

European companies in China are facing increasing financial challenges due to slowing growth and rising overcapacity, as revealed by a survey from the EU Chamber of Commerce in China. Issues such as delayed payments and contract enforcement difficulties, particularly in Shanghai, are exacerbating the situation. Additionally, while recent visa-free policies for several EU countries have improved travel flexibility for executives, the overall business environment remains tough with concerns over profit margins, regulatory barriers, and competitive pressures.
