    Dancing with the Chinese VUCA Environment

    In this new episode of the podcast, we take a deeper look at how companies can achieve excellent business results in the Chinese high-tech industry and the implications for decision-makers in a Vuca-driven China. We also look at how management models and philosophies from the western world can be applied in China and what constitutes the so-called China Speed. In order to better understand the differences between the Western world and China, we will discuss the strongly hierarchical structure of the political and social system and the sociological "face" concept.

    Policies & Regulations in China and Impacts on the Innovation Landscape

    For many, the crackdown of Chinese rising education technology startups came as a shock. New regulations and policies, which are being enforced with great speed and thoroughness by the Chinese leadership, are becoming a key factor for investors looking to enter the booming Chinese market. In the latest edition of our China Tech Chat podcasts, we take a closer look at this issue, summarising recent regulations, the particular impact they have had on the consumer sector, and how stricter regulations are affecting corporate innovation. We also try to find out what the background of policies and regulations is and how it is possible that the top-down approach of the Chinese leadership can be carried out with such effectiveness.

    5G in China and Opportunities Offered

    In this third episode of the China Tech Chat podcast, we look at the future technology of the fith-generation standard of broadband cellular networks (5G). We go into the technical background and general uses of the technology as well as possible applications that could run on the 5G technology.  We then show how far 5G technology has come in China and draw comparisons with the United States and the Western world, with values such as average download speed, penetration rate, and cost of 5G mobile tariffs.   To make the use of 5G technology in China more tangible, we have brought 5 interesting examples from actual application. These include, for example, drones for traffic monitoring or maintenance tracking, check-in technology at Beijing airport and 5G coverage in public transport and large scale expansion of self-serving and cashless stores.

    Can China defend being the "The Factory of the World"?

    In the first edition of the China Tech Chat podcast, Betty and Kimo address the question of whether China could lose its status as "factory of the world" and what the current developments mean.  Already in 2019 and 2020, many multinational technology companies, such as Samsung, Toshiba, Panasonic and Sony decided to move their production capacities to other South-East Asian countries. Vietnam in particular was able to benefit from this trend, recording a year-on-year growth of 30.4% in exports in April 2022, while China only recorded a growth of 3.9%.  More recently, hard lockdowns in response to new Covid-19 outbreaks in China have made the issue very present again.  Betty and Kimo discuss the topic based on extensive research and analysis and their own personal experience from their day-to-day work and on the ground. The results of the analysis are also published as an article on ChineseAlpha.com. https://www.chinesealpha.com/2022/07/10/can-china-defend-being-the-the-factory-of-the-world
