AmCham Shanghai's Legal Committee and Financial Services Committee (FSC) will host a joint in-person event on technology and the financial system.


Recent events surrounding Signature Bank, Silicon Valley Bank and First Republic Bank have triggered existential questions on the future of the technology startup ecosystem and the broader stability of the US financial system, including:


· Do bailouts on customer deposits foster moral hazard?

· What are the legal implications for creditors, investors, depositors, the community, and other stakeholders in a bank liquidation?

· Are Bitcoin and crypto-currencies now validated as serious alternatives to fiat currencies?

· Where will future start-ups find financing?

· Will financial contagion in the US spread to China?


The event will explore these questions and more. No matter your experience level, you're guaranteed to come out better informed about the above topics.


The event will start with a primer by Han Lin (NYU Shanghai, The Asia Group) on the basics of banking. We will then be joined by a deeply experienced panel of technology, academic and legal experts — Ms. Nan Li (Antai College), Ms. Yin Ge (Han Kun Law Offices) and Mr. Oak Ma, Managing Director, China Chief of Staff at CBC Group -who will share their insights on the issues at the nexus of technology and financing.


Lunch will be provided.
