Breaking Down the Barriers between China and the West
Filmed at GLG London
As economic growth in China has slowed in recent years, the need for large companies to look beyond the country’s borders seems unavoidable. According to Fred Ng, a corporate turnaround specialist, big Chinese companies owe a disproportionate portion of their success to their share of the domestic market. Ng maintains that businesses in China must diversify and explore new markets if they want to grow into large-scale multinational corporations. The underlying problem, he feels, is a mutual distrust and lack of understanding between Chinse business leaders and their Western counterparts.
Fred Ng sits down with GLG in London to discuss breaking down barriers, the state of the Chinese economy, and more. Fred Ng is a consultant specializing in cross-border investments in Asia.
