CHINA'S TARGETING OF INTERNATIONAL COMPANIES IN GEOPOLITICAL COMPETITION

Posted: 11th July 2023
By: Insikt Group®


New Insikt research examines China’s coercion of international organizations as
part of geopolitical competition. International businesses and corporate
decision-makers cannot ignore geopolitics, as companies, their supply chains,
and customers are increasingly targeted in cyber and non-cyber efforts to secure
the national objectives of governments around the world. Companies must monitor
the nexus between their business activities and countries' perceptions of
national security — particularly as “great power competition” intensifies — and
plan to mitigate geopolitically driven risk.

Given Beijing’s engagement in an escalating rivalry with the United States (US),
assertive role in many potential flashpoints in Asia, and prioritization of
national security over economics, China is currently among the leading sources
of such risk. Geopolitical competition involving China since 2017 has cost (or
had the potential to cost) international businesses hundreds of millions of USD
in revenue. In some cases, China’s treatment of businesses during geopolitical
disputes and subsequent financial losses has further prompted companies to scale
back operations in or exit the country.

Notable risks to businesses operating in China or exposed to the Chinese market
include changing laws, new export controls, and potential supply-chain
disruptions if regional conflict erupts. In responding to perceived threats to
China’s national security, human rights record, technological advancement, and
territorial and sovereignty claims, Beijing has taken — and is very likely to
continue taking — 8 types of actions that create special risks for international
businesses: Cyberattack, Boycott, Embargo, Exit Ban, Law Enforcement Action,
Product Ban, Regulatory Action, and Sanctions. Although planning for these risks
is made difficult by Beijing’s ill-defined laws and regulations, broad
government powers, and lack of an independent judiciary, businesses should
establish constant Monitoring teams, pursue supply-chain and market
Diversification strategies, and increase Resilience through broad crisis
management planning.
