In this episode, I visit with Foley & Lardner partners David Simon and Mike Walsh on the disruption to the global supply chain, which I focused on in the podcast series, Never the Same. They have co-authored an article entitled, Managing Supply Chain Disruption in an Era of Geopolitical Risk on the topic. In this Part 2 of a two-series, we continue our exploration of the current global supply chain and focus on issues relating to China.
Some of the highlights include:
· Why ever company should prepare for a China confrontation over Taiwan.
· Is the UFLPA a true game changer for supply chains and compliance?
· What is the impact of China’s Belt and Road program? It’s debt financing?
· Why is the global supply chain and indeed the global economy of the past 30 years now dead?
· What steps compliance functions should take now around the global supply chain of the future.
