The Evolution of Chinese Enterprises Going Global

The globalization of Chineseenterprises is closely intertwined with the trajectory of China's economicdevelopment. Mainstream scholars and experts generally divide the globalization joumey of Chinese enterprises to date into four stages.

The present moment is witnessing the transformation of a fifth stage:

1

1978-1991

  • With the signing of the Sino-Japanese Peace and Friendship Treaty, the convening of the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, and the formal estab-lishment of diplomatic relations between
    China and the United States, a series of major events occurred one after another. A small number of enterprises began to try to go global, and the awareness of global-
    ization among Chinese enterprises began to sprout.

1992-2000

  • With the wave'of economic globalization sweeping across the world and the spring breeze of reform blowing, China proposed the "Going Global" strategy. Some of China's
    top enterprises have attempted to venture abroad under policy encouragement, feeling their way across the river.

2001-2007

  • China joined the WTO, and"going global'"was elevated toa national strategy.Chinese enterprises, Led by the manufac-
    turing sector, have been venturing abroad
    one after another, and Chinese enterprises'
    overseas investment has begun to experi-
    ence explosive growth.

2008-2019

  • Following the subprime mortgage crisis, globalization
    and "anti-globalization"
    began to clash. The Chinese government adopted a dual approach of domestic and
    international policies. Meanwhile, driven by the development of online  e-commerce and the internet wave, Chinese enterprises
    achieved breakthrough growth in overseas expansion.

since 2020

  • Affected by the pandemic and compound-ed by geopolitical factors, the international
    environment has become more complex.Opportunities and challenges coexist, and Chinese enterprises have begun upgrading their product capabilitiesand brand strength to seize development opportuni-ties in the escalating international competition.

numerous corporations have established factories in Vietnam and
other regions.

Four Hidden Risks of Globalization
Navigation Channels

  • Structural
    Misalignment

    Overseas business continues to expand, but headquartersgovernance, decisionmaking mechanisms and resource allocation remain centered in mainland China, resulting in
    increased crossregional reduced
    complexity of responseefficiency.
    and management,organizationalcollaborative

  • Business
    Inertia Imbalance

    Early overseas expansion was driven by products and oppor-tunities, relying on single-pointbreakthroughs and experiencereplication, and the historical burden of "building first,thensupplementing structure"grad-ually emerged.

  • Displacement of Production
    Capacity and Resources

    After the global industry entered a new cycle,the pace of
    enterprise expansion deviated from overseas realdemand,and local overcapaci-ty and profit pressure coexist-ed.

  • Disconnection in Family
    Arrangements

    The global layout of enterpris-es is being promoted,but
    arrangements related to enterprises, business 
     owners and successors have not been designed in a coordinatedmanner, and long-term goals and risk bearing are graduallyseparated.
