Research project

Bian’s research covers the financial law and regulation, comparative law, Chinese law & economy, corporate governance, and business ethics. Title of the Research project - "China--EU Finance Cooperation and Regulation under the Current and Near-Future Geopolitical Dynamics":   The world has witnessed the increasing power of the Euro and the Renminbi. Given this situation, China-EU financial cooperation has developed in certain areas, such as institutional arrangements and monetary policy collaboration, etc. Despite this cooperation however, major geopolitical changes mean that to form deeper and multi-dimensional financial cooperation between China and the EU is important.   The research will explore innovative approaches to cross-border financial regulation to identify how financial cooperation between China and EU might be further enhanced. It focuses to conduct a thorough examination of regulatory regime innovations designed to facilitate the efficient financial cooperation between China and EU, by gathering data from financial regulators and institutions. The proposed research will focus on cooperation and collaboration in different aspects, such as:  

  • Cross-border payment system 
  • A possible Shanghai- Paris Stock Connect 
  • Fintech industry
  • Financial market infrastructures 
  • Green financing channels 
  • Regulatory and supervisory cooperation 
    These areas represent some of the most important regulatory issues facing governments as they try to balance economic considerations with minimising risk. A focus on these will provide a solid grounding for developing policy recommendations to further facilitate China-EU cooperation in the financial systems.
