The Donald Trump era in American diplomacy was marked by increasing anti-Chinese rhetoric. China was identified as the ‘major strategic rival’, and the US administration began making active efforts to contain Chinese technological development and global economic influence. The hostilities of the US-China trade war include tariffs, bans on exports of certain goods and supplies, limits on technological and scientific collaboration, moves against Chinese tech giants such as ZTE and Huawei, and threats of decoupling. And yet American companies are far from withdrawing from China. Investments are increasing and decoupling proves not only unfeasible, but potentially highly harmful for the US economy. In our interview with Craig Allen we discussed the scale of US economic involvement in China and the impact of the recent hostilities on the business sector. The meeting was hosted by Associate Professor Marcin Jacoby, Department of Asian Studies at SWPS University at SWPS University, and Zbigniew Niesiobędzki, Ph.D., President of the Polish-Chinese Business Council - a partner of the ChinaTalk series. During the interview we answered questions such as: - How important is the Chinese market to American business? Has the US decision on decoupling been consulted with US businesses in recent years? Will American companies be willing to think more seriously about decoupling? Who is the winner of the tech and trade war between the US and China? What if in 10-20 years the innovation supremacy in the world will change in China’s favor? How is the US SME (small and medium-sized enterprises) sector doing in China? How the most important challenges that US businesses face while doing business in China changed recently? What is the biggest challenge in establishing a fair US-China trade relationship? Will China remain the center of global supply chains? What are the US-China Business Council recommendations to President Biden’s administration regarding China?

DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA is challenging due to the volume of laws and regulations. In some industries, such as media, these laws and regulations are even more strict. However, Geoff de Freitas of Middle Kingdom Media warns that in restrictive industries, one needs to be careful of not only the laws but also the unpublished objectives… The post In a Restricted Market, Know the Laws AND Objectives – Geoff de Freitas appeared first on ClarkMorgan.
