What can companies do to reduce US-China national security tensions?

 

Insights for What’s Ahead

  • To keep trade doors open, large western companies need to actively engage their home market regulators on issues of national security and public interest regarding doing business in/with China.

                            

Op-ed in The Wire China

Derivative opinion piece in The Wire China here (paywall)

  • While western regulators will inevitably close, (or highly restrict), some aspects of Sino-western trade, active and open regulatory engagement in the US and Europe should help keep doors open that needn’t be shut.

  

  • New, regularized regulatory engagement models and reporting standards could work to satisfy understandable home market concerns.

  

  • In turn, clearer regulatory stances in the US and Europe on permissible trade activity should serve to reduce “secure and controllable” concerns on the China side.
