Understanding China’s Technology Ambitions

The environment for multinational companies in China has become increasingly complex in the past few years as the country grapples with restructuring its economy. Nowhere is this clearer than in the case of technology MNCs.

In these videos, Bruce walks us through the motivations behind China’s technology ambitions, the role that innovation plays, and how technology MNCs should react.
