Mitigate the risks of doing business in China amid an increasingly fragmented global trade landscape

Is China still a cost-effective trade partner? How will the deterioration in US-China relations affect global trade? How will businesses be affected by efforts to de-risk and diversify?

We help our clients navigate the increasingly complex geopolitical and internal drivers affecting businesses operating in China.

“Rising tensions and brinkmanship mean a growing possibility of disruption to companies operating in the region.”
