Summary

This chapter assesses the future of Chinese firms in our globalising and technologically leapfrogging economy, a topic that has been met with increasing attention. The first part focuses on the technological domain (STEM), including technological talents in China and its national strategic development plan, China 2025. The second part looks at China’s trade relations with other nations. The third part looks at China’s economic co-operation with other nations, with special attention on China’s Belt-and-Road Initiative. While these domains do not exhaustively include all factors affecting Chinese firms, they highlight the boundaries within which Chinese firms operate and prosper in the global economy.
