(MENAFN- EIN Presswire)
SEATTLE, WA, USA, April 19, 2022 /EINPresswire.com / -- Companies that manufacture in China are facing a double-whammy in 2022: the COVID-19 pandemic that seems to have passed its peak in most countries has prompted lockdowns across much of China and is having a significant impact on production and shipping; at the same time, China's support for Russia during its invasion of Ukraine has dramatically increased the risk outlook for China investment and operations.
On Monday, April 25th (at 1:30pm EDT / 10:30am PDT), veteran China reporter Joanna Chiu will moderate a discussion analyzing the impact of Russia's war in Ukraine on foreign businesses operating in and doing business with China.
Political risk consultant Isaac Stone Fish, management consultant Brent Carlson, and international business attorney Dan Harris will analyze the political and operational risks and challenges of conducting business in and with China, and outline actions companies can take to protect their supply chains. Dan Harris commented,“The lockdowns and Russia's war in Ukraine have hurt the Chinese economy and greatly impacted global supply chains. We have gathered the best and the brightest to participate in this panel and we are excited to share strategies on how companies can mitigate their operational, political, and legal risks related to China's business environment and economy in 2022 and beyond.”
Topics to be covered will include:
• How are Chinese domestic politics affecting global trade and economics?
• What are the chances that Russia-style multilateral sanctions will be imposed on China?
• How has COVID affected Chinese factories and supplier relationships?
• What should you be doing right now to protect your business (and local staff)?
• How can you move your manufacturing out of China (if you can)?
• Where are companies moving their China manufacturing?
This virtual panel discussion will provide the top perspectives on China business. As a must-attend event for international business people and their teams, the event is free to attend but registration is required.
This 90-minute Web-based discussion is FREE to attend.
