How to deal with Chinese investors? That question is asked more frequently by government agencies, startups, larger and smaller companies outside China, and even soccer clubs. Capital is flowing over from China to the rest of the world, partly through the massive One Belt, One Road (OBOR) investment program. But many Chinese companies, private and state-owned, also have their own investment agenda.

At the China Speakers Bureau, we offer a range of speakers who can help you to deal with that question. There might not be one answer, but as China’s economic standing in the world changes, looking for possible answers becomes more crucial for the world outside China.

How do Chinese companies work? What is, beyond the obvious propaganda, their real agenda? How is technology and AI kicking in? Are Chinese companies competitors to fear, or are there strategies to collaborate with them?

When you are interested in those questions, please check out one of the following speakers. Of course, we are happy to give you a tailor made advice.
