China-Italy Investment Strategy Summit in Greater Bay Area

China and Italy, located at the east and west ends of the ancient Silk Road, have planted a deep resonance for today’s China-Italy cooperation that goes beyond transactions. From Marco Polo’s travels in the Orient to the pragmatic cultivation under the “One Belt, One Road” initiative, China and Italy have always been pioneers in global mutual learning of civilizations and economic and trade cooperation.

In 2026, the China-Italy comprehensive strategic partnership has entered a new milestone, bilateral cooperation is shifting from a grand narrative to intensive cultivation. Italy, as the EU’s third largest economy, a highland of high-end manufacturing and innovative design, and by virtue of its Mediterranean hub location, has become the strategic fulcrum for Chinese investment in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. What is more rare is the deep fit in the inheritance of family enterprises and the ingenuity of brands, which enables Chinese investment in M&A to cross cultural barriers and realize the jump from capital output to value symbiosis.

This year, the new tax treaty has reduced the costs of investment significantly – dividends, interest and royalties have been cut across the board; the Golden Powers Act has been extended to the financial field, and the concept of “economic security” has continued to be strengthened. With the addition of EU’s Foreign Subsidies Regulation and GDPR, the compliance threshold has been significantly raised. Dividends and red lines coexist, opportunities and challenges coexist.

At this critical juncture, DP Group – D’Andrea & Partners Legal Counsel, an international law firm rooted in Italy and deeply embedded in both the Chinese and Italian markets, joins hands with premier institutions including CICC, Hurun Report, and PHC Advisory Tax & Accounting, together with the China-Italy Chamber of Commerce, the Italy-China Chamber of Commerce, and the Futian District Government of Shenzhen, to host a closed-door summit in the Greater Bay Area. With a global vision, local insights, and a practice‑driven approach, we provide Chinese enterprises with systematic guidance for investing in Italy – from strategic assessment to on‑the‑ground execution.

Together with you on the “Italy Road” – co‑prosperity and shared success, opening a new chapter in China‑Italy investment.
