Coming Conflict with China

Coming Conflict with China: Part 5-Good Compliance Is Good Business

In the short span of the 21st Century, the world’s two top powers, the United States and China, have moved inexplicably towards a showdown. This evolved from a commercial competition into something more akin to permanent non-kinetic warfare. What does this mean for US business doing business in and with China? In this special 5-part series, Tom Fox and Brandon Daniels, CEO of Exiger, a global leading third-party and supply chain management software company, explore issues diverse as real danger, supply chain, exports, cyber-attacks and IP theft from the business perspective and give the compliance and business executive their viewpoints on what you can do to not only prepare your company but protect it as well. In concluding Part V, we consider the roles of governments, businesses and thought leaders in leading the US business efforts in this coming conflict.

After uncovering a “constellation of disconnected issues” that are actually interconnected, Brandon Daniels must use regulation, funding and evangelism to incentivize public markets, combat the cyber threat and prevent conflict with China in order to protect national security. We discuss the importance of good compliance to good business; explore the government’s role in regulating cyber security, funding infrastructure upgrades, and incentivizing public markets and the role of businessmen and thought leaders. He also noted how conflicts with China can put companies out of business and the essential role of compliance in weathering the storm. His ultimate conclusion was that “good compliance is good business.”

Key Highlights
1. How has the government’s role changed in responding to the constellation of interconnected business and legal issues present today?

  1. What role do the public markets play in incentivizing investments in new technology and alternative energy?
  2. How can a company ensure good compliance to ensure good business?

Notable Quote

“Good compliance is good business – we saw that so unbelievably clearly during the pandemic, and I think we could learn something from an old adage and renew that view that good compliance process is good business process.”

Coming Conflict with China: Part 4 – Cyber Spying and IP Theft

In the short span of the 21st Century, the world’s two top powers, the United States and China, have moved inexplicably toward a showdown. This evolved from a commercial competition into something more akin to permanent non-kinetic warfare. What does this mean for US business doing business in and with China? In this special 5-part Series, Tom Fox and Brandon Daniels, CEO of Exiger, a leading global third-party and supply chain management software company, explore issues diverse as a real danger, supply chain, exports, cyber-attacks, and IP theft from the business perspective and give the compliance and business executive their viewpoints on what you can do to not only prepare your company but protect it as well. In Part IV, China’s aggressive tactics to steal intellectual property, we consider the responses to protect the US’s IP and how to take aggressive action against the Chinese government to seek remuneration for stolen assets.

What are China’s aggressive tactics in stealing intellectual property from countries all over the world? Through intelligence gathering, academic partnerships, and supply chain buyouts, China has managed to copy and counterfeit American business products and other technologies. Companies must harden their defenses and refuse to stand for IP theft by using the Rule of Law to take a stand against the theft of US intellectual property. Through a concerted effort, companies can fight back and reclaim their assets.

Key Highlights:

1. How is China aggressively stealing intellectual property and technology?

  1. How is counterfeiting built into the Chinese economic model?
  2. Why is the Rule of Law a critical recourse for companies whose intellectual property is stolen by China?

Coming Conflict with China: Part 3 – Exports and Rebalancing the Global Economy

In the short span of the 21st Century, the world’s top powers, the United States and China, have moved inexplicably toward a showdown. This evolved from a commercial competition into something more akin to permanent non-kinetic warfare. What does this mean for US business doing business in and with China? In this special 5-part series, Tom Fox and Brandon Daniels, CEO of Exiger, a leading global third-party and supply chain management software company, explore issues diverse as a real danger, supply chain, exports, cyber-attacks, and IP theft from the business perspective and give the compliance and business executive their viewpoints on what you can do to not only prepare your company but protect it as well. In Part III, we consider issues related to US exports to China and markets for US products if the China market is closed off to US companies.

The US-China conflict is intensifying, and as a result, businesses that export to China are feeling the strain. US companies exported nearly $149 billion worth of goods to China, but China still exports over $400 billion to the US. Do these trade deficits still matter? What happens when your biggest customer is no longer available? How do you go about finding new markets and reshoring customers? Join us as we explore this and other export issues in Part 3 of this special five-part series.

Key Highlights:

1. The importance of balancing the US-China economic relationship in light of the current crisis.
2. How does a business consider customer location an existential risk?
3. The potential for global economic rebalancing through collaboration between democracies.

Notable Quote

“We have to figure out how to make this a global market and ensure that this doesn’t just become some sort of nationalistic retrenchment.”
