Understanding China’s Sanctions: A Strategic Imperative for Business Leaders August 10, 2023 ‘China is gearing up – not to intentionally drive an escalation of geopolitical tensions – but to respond commensurately to external actions imposed upon it.’ ‘China is currently building and stress testing a suite of policy tools to respond to foreign governments in a targeted, agile, and reciprocal fashion.’ ‘It’s important to formulate a nuanced approach and consider what foreign governments need to see you doing in China.
