Christopher von
Gumppenberg
Company: SWJ Consulting (Beijing) Ltd. Cor.
Job Title/Position: Project Engineer
Year of Foundation: 2003
HQ: SWJ Engineering GmbH, Im Leuschnerpark 4,
64347 Griesheim, Germany
Main Business: factory planning, manufacturing
engineering, logistic planning and project management
Number of Employees: ca. 120
Sales/Revenue: EUR 12mn
What is your personal and business background?
I have been working as a project engineer for
SWJ Engineering since 2012. I started this
job right after finishing my master of business and engineering (MBE) with a focus on
mechanical engineering. I specialized in the
fields of factory planning, project management, aviation gear and ECO Design. I was
looking for a job which would give me the
opportunity to apply my knowledge in factory planning and work in China at the same
time. The SWJ Group made my vision come
true, and I have been based in Beijing since
autumn last year.
Tell us about your current projects in China?
The new Daimler factory we have just finished
in Beijing is going to start operating soon. We
are in the middle of production tests. It is always
very exciting and fulfilling when everything is
running smoothly. The project started in 2011,
and the SWJ Group was responsible for its assembly planning. One of the most exciting
things about the new automotive factory is that
it has been a greenfield project. SWJ was given
the opportunity to build a factory from scratch.
The new factory will produce a maximum of
210,000 cars per year, among others the Mercedes C-Class and the extended E-Class.
What is your personal view on China and what
are your plans for the future?
My last months in China have been a great
cultural, professional and personal experience. A
project of this scale with so many participants
and details to take care of would be already a
great task in Germany, but here in China many
more factors like the differences in the way of
working or the language barriers make it an
even bigger challenge. Despite all these difficulties, it is great fun to work in this intercultural
environment. The SWJ Group has also given me
the opportunity to learn Chinese.
What is the best way to get in contact with SWJ
for young engineers, especially from China?
On 20th April 2013, Ms. Klett and Ms. Cheng
will be attending the 6th Sino-German Job
Fair at the Kempinski Hotel Beijing Lufthansa
Center to share insights on our company
structure and provide information about
our recent projects in China. We are looking
forward to meeting everybody at the fair. Of
course, we also post job offers on the AHK or
on the SWJ Gruppe website. SWJ is always
looking for highly motivated engineers, willing to take the challenge to work for projects
based in China or Germany. Candidates with a
Chinese-German background, in particular, are
highly appreciated.

China's public opinion - Media & its role in Chinese Society
Some of the fog regarding practices and recent developments
in Chinas media sector was lifted at this event late February in
Qingdao. Chamber media expert Daniel Abel took participants of
the seminar on a journey into modern media and its coverage of
events like the Wenzhou train accident and the Bo Xilai affair. In
his opinion they document a major shift in China’s information
culture, which has influence on all areas of public opinion
building. Whether this will leave a lasting impact or not will
depend on the tolerance of the future government concerning
information exchange through social media.

Beijing Air Pollution off the Charts
Reasons and Development of Air Quality in Chinas Capital
by Babette Bernhardt
The beginning of 2013 has brought chronic bad air to most of China, soaring
past levels considered hazardous to human health. In mid January, levels of
PM 2.5 rose to 845 micrograms per cubic meter in Beijing. WHO guidelines
say that average concentrations of PM 2.5 should be no more than 25
micrograms. Once inhaled, the tiny particles can cause respiratory infections,
as well as increased mortality from lung cancer and heart disease.
On February 28th, the German Chamber of Commerce co-organized a
seminar to follow up on Beijing’s recent air quality situation. The seminar
was held by Ms. Zhou Rong, the climate and energy campaigner of
Greenpeace China, and Ms. Cordula Geinitz, First Secretary for climate
change, energy and environmental policy at the German Embassy. The two
experts each provided new and revealing insights on questions concerning
effects on human health and effective personal protection measures, as
well as long term solutions for China’s cities.
Panel discussion at the seminar (from left to right): Ms. Zhou Rong (Greenpeace China), Ms.
Cordula Geinitz (German Embassy Beijing) and Mr. Daniel Abel (German Chamber North China)
Cold winter and no wind exacerbate air pollution
Beijing has suffered from serious air pollution for many years. China’s rapid
industrialisation, its almost total reliance on coal power and explosive
growth in car ownership can be considered as the primary sources of
pollutants. Recently, China has been responsible for 24% of worldwide
carbon dioxide emissions. The number of cars in Beijing increased from
3.5mn in 2008 to 5mn in 2012. This year, the air pollution has been
worsened by an unusual cold winter causing an increase in coal burning
for heating needs and weather patterns, such as no wind.
High air pollution levels were not only recorded in Beijing, but also in other
parts of North China including Tianjin, Zhengzhou and Hebei province.
Economic growth has left the air quality in many Chinese cities notoriously
poor. In Beijing, stores sold out of anti-pollution face masks, flights were
cancelled due to the thick smog and hospitals noted a dramatic increase
in the number of patients with respiratory ailments.
Government introduces emergency plan
Repeatedly high pollution levels in early 2013 have raised public
awareness and led to urgent calls for the government to take emergency
actions. One week after that record-breaking weekend, Beijing shut down
some building sites and polluting factories temporarily, ordered almost
a third of official cars off the road and advised city residents to avoid
outdoor activities. These measures will be implemented when pollution is
extremely harmful.
Although the Beijing city government has tried to hide its pollution
problem in the past, increasing public pressure has forced it into a more
open approach. By publishing hourly pollution data and weather forecasts,
as well as covering the current air quality situation in the domestic media,
the government is granting more transparency recently.
While Beijing is taking emergency measures and is willing to cut air
pollution by 15% over the next three years, the surrounding provinces
are actually stepping up coal consumption. In the end, China’s growing
demand for energy has to be met. Given the fact that the country’s
62
April - May 2013
Global satellite-derived map of PM 2.5 averaged over 2001-2006 – Source: http://www.nasa.gov/
topics/earth/features/health-sapping.html
industries obtain almost all of their energy from climate-damaging coal,
coal consumption and CO2 emissions will continue to rise in the future.
Long-term solutions and short-term protection
The draft regulations published in January indicate that the government
is trying hard to address the pollution and employ more air protection
measurements. Energy efficiency, environmental protection and green
energies are integral components of the recent 12th Five-Year-Plan. The
country aims to reduce its reliance on coal and intensity of energy use by
21% by 2015. Moreover, China is closely cooperating with other countries
to develop suitable and effective solutions to grow sustainably in the
future.
There is still a long way to go before China will meet the WHO air quality
guidelines. Ambitious forecasts say that Beijing will regularly see blue
sky by 2030 earliest. Until then, it is more than advisable to take shortterm protection measures. Wearing a respiratory mask when PM 2.5 levels
exceed 200 and reducing outdoor activities can reduce exposure on heavy
smog days. Although they tend to be more expensive and come with a
questionable carbon footprint due to production and running costs, air
purifiers can also be a solution indoors.

Main Business: HRS operates a global electronic
hotel reservation system for business and private
travellers. We provide cutting edge online travel
solutions to corporate clients and a new concept
distribution channel for hoteliers.
How long has your company been active in
China? Why did your company choose to
locate where it did?
We just launched our “10 years for HRS
and China” project in the end of 2012, and
we will continue to expand our footprint in
China. With over 40 years of experience in
the industry, HRS would like to further bring
the concept of “business travel spendings
management” to China, and to uphold our
commitment to the growth of the Chinese
travel market. We plan to open a new branch
in Beijing this year, to meet the demands in
the Northern Chinese market and increase
our market share.
How is your experience of working in China
different from your experiences in other
countries?
I have several years of experience working
in China and abroad, and I speak Chinese,
English and Japanese. In China, I think
relationship-building is important to gain
trust from business partners. In Europe,
people are more straightforward during
negotiations and more inclined to express
themselves. But I respect this culture and
think it also has positive advantages in
establishing long-term cooperation with
customers.

through Panalpina
Panalpina is realizing the goal of making Beijing
into the air import hub for cargo moving from
Europe to Northern China. As Panalpina has
regular cargo consolidation from European
Gateways to Beijing by commercial flight, this
allows them to build up dedicated airfreight
pallets, offering higher security and handling
standards to customers. In Beijing, Panalpina
has its own air import bonded warehouse close
to the Beijing airport. Upon cargo arrival in
Beijing, Panalpina controls the import process.
The company works with customs to expedite
the manifest upload process at any time as per
customer requirements. After transit clearance,
shipments can be arranged to final destination
airports like Tianjin, Qingdao, Dalian and
Shenyang by bonded transfer, which optimizes
the air import door to door process according to
customer needs.

Voith Camp in Kunshan
On January 10th, 21 teachers and students
from Tongji University, Zhejiang University
and Xi‘an Jiaotong University visited the Voith
Paper City at Kunshan. Through a variety
of outreach activities, factory tours, and
close conversations with Voith’s executives
and human resources teams, students were
able to obtain a more comprehensive and
understanding of the corporate philosophy
“engineering technology, extensive reliability”.
It was the first time for many students to
actually walk into a factory and watch the
entire modern manufacturing process with
their own eyes. A student said excitedly,
“Through this event I could observe Germany‘s
advanced technology and strict working
processes, and I was impressed by the
harmonious atmosphere here. I think Voith
is a good employer, and I expect to work at
Voith after graduation”.

REGIONAL NEWS | Shanghai | In Person
Dirk von
Wahl
Company: TÜV SÜD Greater China
Job Title/Position: President and CEO of TÜV
SÜD Greater China
Year of Foundation: Founded in Germany in
1866, entered China in 1991
HQ: Munich, Germany
Main Business: The service range covers
testing, inspection, certification, training
and other fields. We can offer about 3000
kinds of services.
Number of Employees: 17,000 globally
Sales/Revenue: EUR 1.7bn globally
After graduation at the TH Darmstadt where
I majored in Industrial Engineering and
Management, I started my career with ABB
in Mannheim and moved to Beijing in 1994.
In my last position, I was overseeing one
of the JVs in Low Voltage products. Then
I joined Volvo Construction Equipment in
2002 as President for their China operations.
Since 2009, I have been responsible for the
business operations of TÜV SÜD in Mainland
China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. In these four
years our business has more than doubled.
On a personal note, I’ve lived in Shanghai for
almost 11 years with my wife and our two
teenaged children.
Tell us a little about your company and activities in China?
Currently TÜV SÜD in the Greater China
region covers more than 40 locations and has
more than 2,000 employees, 70% of whom
are engineers.
In addition to our traditional services, we also
focus on infrastructure as well as energysaving and emission-reduction projects in
China. Other new and emerging technologies
will further accelerate the development of
the company. For example, TÜV SÜD is an
international first-class certification and
testing service provider in the electric vehicle
field. TÜV SÜD also maintains a strong
interest in and has invested in the green
energy field.
72
April - May 2013
How long has your company been active in
China? Have there been any major shifts in
strategy in that time, and why/why not?
TÜV SÜD started its business here in
the early 90’s. Foreign buyers used our
services to verify the quality and quantity
of their products; local consumer goods
manufacturers engaged our audit services in
order to ensure that their business operations
complied with international standards and
achieved certification to fulfill requirements
on product safety. Basically this business
model is still applicable for the majority of
our operations.
What are the main challenges you
encountered whilst operating an international
business in the Chinese environment?
As a service provider, we can only realize
growth opportunities with knowledgeable
and engaged staff. It is a challenge to find
and train a pool of engineers with the right
qualifications. With the increased sensitivity
of Chinese consumers to product quality
and safety, the available pool of potential
candidates gets even smaller as local
manufacturers expand their in-house quality
departments.
Do you target a mainly Western, or Chinese
customer base, and why?
We have a good mix of international
customers who need assurance of their
purchases, and Chinese customers who need
testing and certification.
What is your competitive advantage? What
kind of benefits can companies using your
services in China gain?
Our brand reputation comes from our
technical knowledge and experience. We
are committed to continuously helping
customers improve safety standards, increase
economic value, develop technology,
optimize systems and enhance the customer’s
global competitiveness. We do all this while
adhering to TÜV SÜD’s founding tenet:
“Protect people, the environment and
property against technology-related risks”.
What are your aims and hopes for the future?
We have more than doubled the size of
our operations in the last four years. In the
long term, we are expecting to continue
this development steadily. China has been
progressively producing higher quality
exports, and there are vast opportunities in
the domestic Chinese market.
In your experience, what are the problems
German investors in China encounter most
frequently?
Decisions are often made based on the
professional environment and expertise that
exist in Germany. So it is well warranted
to involve knowledgeable consultants with
experience in China from the planning phase,
or hire prospective managers early in the
process in order to manage the project in
China rather than having the project being
managed by the Chinese circumstances.
What has been your experience working and
living in China and how is it different from
working in other countries?
Over the past 20 years I was lucky to have
always experienced my Chinese colleagues’
never-ending dedication to their work and
openness to learn, combined with a real
desire to explore new opportunities. On the
other hand, expectations of the employees
have to be managed, as many employees who
are expected to be full-fledged managers
have only a very short work history.
What are the most valuable things you have
learned from working and living in China?
Openness, honesty and transparency are the
guiding principles to forming successful teams
all over the world, but due to the hierarchical
structures in China it requires more patience
to implement this amongst the employees
here. Once all of the colleagues have embraced
this, the culture changes completely to a
collaborative style. To me the most rewarding
thing is seeing that during the last two decades
my Chinese colleagues have substantially
increased their standard of living.

Venue: InterContinental Expo Shanghai
Moderator: Mr. Titus von dem Bongart |
Head of GBN Greater China, Ernst & Young
Speakers: Dr. Wolfgang Roehr | Consul
General, Consulate General of the Federal
Republic of Germany Shanghai
Mr. Stefan Möbs | Permanent Representative
and Head of the Economic Department,
Consulate General of the federal republic of

Mr. René Trautnitz | Head of the Legal and
Consulate Department, Consulate General of
the Federal Republic of Germany Shanghai
The first Chamber Meeting of the Year 2013 took place at the InterContinental Expo Shanghai, and reviewed the year 2012 while providing an outlook for this year. The four speakers from the Consulate
General – Dr. Wolfgang Roehr, Consul General; Mr. Stefan Moebs,
Permanent Representative and Head of the Economic Department; Ms.
Gudrun Lingner, Head of the Department for Culture, Science and Press
and Public Relations; and René Trautnitz, Head of the Legal and Consulate Department – also gave detailed insight into their daily work.
Titus von dem Bongart, Head of GBN Greater China, Ernst & Young,
moderated the meeting, and welcomed everyone in the New Year.
First, the German Chamber of Commerce made their donation to the
Pfrang foundation. After Ms. Julia Guestens came to the stage and
gave a presentation about the Pfrang Association, Dr. Eva Drewes and
Rolf Koehler handed over an RMB 200,000 donation from the German
Chamber of Commerce. The Pfrang foundation supports underprivileged children in obtaining an education.
After the handing over of the check, Dr. Wolfgang Roehr and his team
from the consulate general came to the stage and gave a speech. FMr.
Roehr first told the audience about his journeys to several smaller
cities in the Yangtse Delta, such as Suzhou and Hefei. He focused in
particular on highlighting the great possibilities in these relatively
undiscovered areas. Moreover, he announced his expectations concerning the development of China in the coming years, and outlined
the results of a survey stating that Germany is the country with the
best reputation in China. Mr. Moebs then shared some important
predictions concerning the economic sector. Despite a positive overall
outlook, he mentioned certain problems that China must start focusing on in the near future, like corruption and air pollution. Finally,
he thanked the German Chamber of Commerce for the excellent cooperation that both partners benefited from in the past. Ms. Lingner
expressed her satisfaction with the huge number of cultural activities
that were held over the last year, including exhibitions, concerts and
several other projects. A documentary about the experiences of the
first Germans in Cina - and the first Chinese in Germany - called “China
Pioniere” will be shown on Chinese TV in the near future.
Next, Mr. Trautnitz explained the latest changes in the regulations
for visa applications and the new option for German citizens to apply
for a German ID at the consulate general. He also promoted the support of the consulate in questions of marriage certification, procuration and birth registration of newborns. The event was closed by Mr.
Christian Blatt, who briefly introduced the main topic of the upcoming Chamber Meeting: the Taicang industrial zone.

New Workshop at the Chamber:
Workshop Business and Society
Community Engagement approaches evolve swiftly in China, as markets
mature, organizations grow and society changes. Responsibility also means
different things to every company, and can be demonstrated through
compliance, charity, volunteering, supply chain training, NGO partnerships
and more. New approaches and forms of engagement provide opportunities
to go beyond traditional corporate social responsibility and help tap into an
organization’s collective intelligence, innovation and talent. Responsibility
then equals shared value for both the business and the community.
Aim
Workshop Business and Society has been set up to address and discuss
current trends related to community engagement. It enables networking
and cooperation among practitioners and promotes exchange of best
practices at the interface of business and society.
Target Groups
The workshop welcomes participants from all sectors, private and public: industry, NGOs, charities, social entrepreneurs and other organizations. From the
business community, not only CSR managers but also CEO´s, communications,
marketing, HR, R&D managers, as well as any individuals who see potential
benefits in engaging more with society are invited to participate.
Moderation
This workshop is initiated by Dr. Eva Drewes, Member of the Board of Directors, and moderated by German Chamber Member Katja Hellkoetter, Founder
and Managing Director of Constellations (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.
New Workshop at the Chmaber:
Machine Building and Plant Construction
This new workshop presents an opportunity to discuss current trends in the
area of machine building and plant construction, which are relevant for companies active in China. Topics significant for companies producing in China are
discussed as well as issues important for those that import into the Chinese
market. The objective is to provide a platform for exchange among entrepreneurs that face common opportunities and challenges. In this context, plant
and technical site visits of Members Companies will be part the workshop.
Target Group
The workshop is designed for industry experts who have an interest in actively
exchanging information on current “hot topics” including regulations and future development in the industry, as well as “best practice” examples.
Moderation
The workshop is moderated by Mr. Peter Legner, President & CEO of Schenck
Shanghai Machinery Corp. Ltd and Mr. Daniel Tweer, Vice General Manager of
