This week on China Corner Office, Chris Marquis discusses Chinese tech companies and their global expansion with Guoli Chen, Professor of Strategy at INSEAD, and Jianggan Li, founder and CEO of Momentum Works. They discussed the challenges that result from the protective nature of the Chinese ecosystem, as well as the solutions and recommendations from their new book on the topic Seeing the Unseen. Also featured in this show is an in-depth discussion of how Chinese history, especially Mao’s enduring influence, functions as a double-edged sword for contemporary Chinese business culture and leadership styles. We also discuss the recent crackdowns on tech firms and the tightening of regulations. We conclude with Guoli and Jianggan providing valuable suggestions to Chinese companies wishing to expand into foreign territory in this era of political and economic uncertainty.
