Georg Boehm, chief operating officer of a German company's China branch, expressed admiration for Shanghai's bold efforts to put itself in line with global standards.

In the wake of China's adoption of a new international convention, he said he had witnessed a remarkable improvement in cross-border document processing — with turnaround times shrinking from 2-3 months down to just 15 days.

Boehm added that this transformation had bolstered his confidence in Shanghai's business-friendly environment.

"I encourage more foreign firms to seize the opportunities in Shanghai's thriving business landscape," he emphasized.
