The typical Chinese-Indonesian restaurant is in danger of disappearing from the Dutch street scene. This is also the case with the restaurant of the father of documentary filmmaker Julie Ng. In More than Babi Pangang she dives into the success and decline of the Chinese-Indonesian restaurant. That search also leads her to unknown parts of her own Chinese background. \nJulie Ng will be present at every film screening to answer questions from the audience and to talk to the Chinese elderly. Since its premiere in February\, this film has received a lot of attention in the Dutch media and has also received the Crystal Film Award. VNC previously conducted an extensive interview with Julie Ng about her film (https://www.vnc-china.nl/tien-jaar-filmen-een-lange-therapiesessie/). \nThanks to our sponsors General Chinese Association in the Netherlands (ACVN)\, National Federation of Chinese Organizations in the Netherlands (LFCON) and Dutch China Trade and Economic Promotion Association (DCTEPA)\, VNC offers these special screenings with Chinese subtitles free of charge to members of VNC\, Chinese elderly organizations and the sponsors. For non-members we ask for a small contribution of 5 euros. Due to a limited number of places\, you must register in advance using the form below. After registration\, you will receive a confirmation for participation by e-mail. Since this film screening is mainly intended for Chinese elderly people or people who want to watch the documentary with them\, we ask friends/acquaintances to help them with the registration if necessary. \nSign up on time\, because FULL = FULL! \nThe tickets will be available soon.

After the bursting of the real estate bubble in 2020\, China was expected to boost its domestic consumption to cushion the loss in the real estate sector. Instead\, the Chinese government opted for a different strategy: further scaling up exports. China now produces about 35% of all global manufacturing\, and that share could rise to almost 50% by 2030. How has China achieved this growth\, and what consequences does this have for global trade flows\, dependencies and competitive relationships? During this evening with Heleen Mees\, this development will be sharply analyzed and placed in a broader context. \n \nLocation: \nStadsbrasserie De Utrechter\, Vredenburg 40\, Utrecht\, 5 minutes walk from Central Station\, parking in Hoog Catharijne P5 Noord \nProgram: \n17.00 – 17.30 Walkin with drinks \n17.30 – 18.30 Interview with Heleen Mees and Q&A \n18.30 – 19.00 Networking with drinks and snacks \nThe language is English \nPrices: \nFree for VNC members \n€15 for non-members \n€7.50 for students \nTickets are non-refundable\, but transferable. \nAbout the speaker: \nHeleen Mees is an economist\, opinion writer and author of four books. She’s a teaching professor at several universities\, including New York University and Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. Her research focuses on the impact of China’s rise on the West. Her work has appeared in newspapers and magazines including Foreign Policy\, The New York Times\, The Financial Times\, and Le Monde. She is also the cofounder of an NGO that advocates more women in top jobs. She divides her time between New York and Amsterdam\, but in 2015 she lived a year in Doujiao Hutong in Beijing. \n \nTo register\, please fill in this form: \n\n \n \n 8 juni 2026 China Café: Van vastgoedcrisis naar exportboom: China’s nieuwe groeimotor\n \n \n NameThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Naam(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n E-mailadres(Required)\n \n \n Enter Email\n \n \n \n Confirm Email\n \n \n Adres \n \n \n \n Street Address\n \n \n Address Line 2\n \n \n City\n \n \n State / Province / Region\n \n \n ZIP / Postal Code\n \n AfghanistanAlbaniaAlgeriaAmerican SamoaAndorraAngolaAnguillaAntarcticaAntigua and BarbudaArgentinaArmeniaArubaAustraliaAustriaAzerbaijanBahamasBahrainBangladeshBarbadosBelarusBelgiumBelizeBeninBermudaBhutanBoliviaBonaire\, Sint Eustatius and SabaBosnia and HerzegovinaBotswanaBouvet IslandBrazilBritish Indian Ocean TerritoryBrunei DarussalamBulgariaBurkina FasoBurundiCabo VerdeCambodiaCameroonCanadaCayman IslandsCentral African RepublicChadChileChinaChristmas IslandCocos IslandsColombiaComorosCongoCongo\, Democratic Republic of theCook IslandsCosta RicaCroatiaCubaCuraçaoCyprusCzechiaCôte d'IvoireDenmarkDjiboutiDominicaDominican RepublicEcuadorEgyptEl SalvadorEquatorial GuineaEritreaEstoniaEswatiniEthiopiaFalkland IslandsFaroe IslandsFijiFinlandFranceFrench GuianaFrench PolynesiaFrench Southern TerritoriesGabonGambiaGeorgiaGermanyGhanaGibraltarGreeceGreenlandGrenadaGuadeloupeGuamGuatemalaGuernseyGuineaGuinea-BissauGuyanaHaitiHeard Island and McDonald IslandsHoly SeeHondurasHong KongHungaryIcelandIndiaIndonesiaIranIraqIrelandIsle of ManIsraelItalyJamaicaJapanJerseyJordanKazakhstanKenyaKiribatiKorea\, Democratic People's Republic ofKorea\, Republic ofKuwaitKyrgyzstanLao People's Democratic RepublicLatviaLebanonLesothoLiberiaLibyaLiechtensteinLithuaniaLuxembourgMacaoMadagascarMalawiMalaysiaMaldivesMaliMaltaMarshall IslandsMartiniqueMauritaniaMauritiusMayotteMexicoMicronesiaMoldovaMonacoMongoliaMontenegroMontserratMoroccoMozambiqueMyanmarNamibiaNauruNepalNetherlandsNew CaledoniaNew ZealandNicaraguaNigerNigeriaNiueNorfolk IslandNorth MacedoniaNorthern Mariana IslandsNorwayOmanPakistanPalauPalestine\, State ofPanamaPapua New GuineaParaguayPeruPhilippinesPitcairnPolandPortugalPuerto RicoQatarRomaniaRussian FederationRwandaRéunionSaint BarthélemySaint Helena\, Ascension and Tristan da CunhaSaint Kitts and NevisSaint LuciaSaint MartinSaint Pierre and MiquelonSaint Vincent and the GrenadinesSamoaSan MarinoSao Tome and PrincipeSaudi ArabiaSenegalSerbiaSeychellesSierra LeoneSingaporeSint MaartenSlovakiaSloveniaSolomon IslandsSomaliaSouth AfricaSouth Georgia and the South Sandwich IslandsSouth SudanSpainSri LankaSudanSurinameSvalbard and Jan MayenSwedenSwitzerlandSyria Arab RepublicTaiwanTajikistanTanzania\, the United Republic ofThailandTimor-LesteTogoTokelauTongaTrinidad and TobagoTunisiaTurkmenistanTurks and Caicos IslandsTuvaluTürkiyeUS Minor Outlying IslandsUgandaUkraineUnited Arab EmiratesUnited KingdomUnited StatesUruguayUzbekistanVanuatuVenezuelaViet NamVirgin Islands\, BritishVirgin Islands\, U.S.Wallis and FutunaWestern SaharaYemenZambiaZimbabweÅland Islands\n Country\n \n \n Hoe heb je van dit evenement gehoord?VNC WebsiteVNC nieuwsbriefSociale mediaMond tot mondreclameZoekmachine (Google\, Bing\, enz.)AndersAnders:Bedrijfsnaam8 juni 2026 China Café: China’s nieuwe groeimotor - Leden VNC Ticket\n \n \n Price:\n \n \n \n AantalPlease enter a number greater than or equal to 1.8 juni 2026 China Café: China’s nieuwe groeimotor - Standaard Ticket\n \n \n Price:\n \n \n \n AantalPlease enter a number greater than or equal to 1.8 juni 2026 China Café: China’s nieuwe groeimotor - Studenten Ticket\n \n \n Price:\n \n \n \n AantalPlease enter a number greater than or equal to 1.Totaal\n \n BetaalmethodeiDEAL | Wero\n American ExpressMasterCardVisaSupported Credit Cards: American Express\, MasterCard\, Visa\n \n Card Number\n \n \n \n Expiration Date\n \n \n  \n Security Code\n \n \n \n Cardholder Name URL:https://www.vnc-china.nl/en/event/june-8-2026-china-cafe-from-real-estate-crisis-to-export-boom-chinas-new-growth-engine/ LOCATION:De Utrechter Stadsbrasserie en Bar\, Vredenburg 40\, Utrecht\, 3511 BD CATEGORIES:Economics and Business,VNC event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.vnc-china.nl/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/foto-china-cafe.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20260616T183000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20260616T210000 DTSTAMP:20260608T064041 CREATED:20260601T143726Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260601T143726Z UID:10000242-1781634600-1781643600@www.vnc-china.nl SUMMARY:VNC China Eetclub Tuesday 16 June in The Hague DESCRIPTION:Discover the rich and authentic flavors of Chinese cuisine at the VNC China Dining Club!
