China 2024: Compliance und Risk Management

Doing business in and with China is becoming more challenging and risky for foreign companies. Key reasons include increasing state interventions in the economy and numerous new laws and regulations that complicate business management. Current examples are cybersecurity, data protection, and counter-espionage, which are becoming central in the consistent transformation of the Chinese economy. The protection of intellectual property in the form of patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets, the scrutiny of cross-border data transfer, and export control are also gaining importance for China. This results in new requirements for companies' compliance and risk management, putting them under pressure. Now, they need to meet the state's requirements and maintain their position in the lucrative Chinese market.

We Work Across the Globe

Intellectual property, know-how and data no longer know any national borders. If you want to protect these assets, you have to look beyond national markets and act globally. International business processes are standard today, and the strategies and projects to protect them are correspondingly demanding.

The new generation of brand and product pirates now operates worldwide. Their strategies are complex, and their structures are usually internationally intertwined. Chinese digital platforms play a major role in global counterfeiting.

With the new laws and regulations on cyber security and data protection, data traffic to, from and within China is becoming more difficult. Legal restrictions related to data are also increasing in other Asian countries, especially in the area of innovative technologies. Secure international IT solutions are now in demand.

CHINABRAND cooperates with competent experts in the fields of intellectual property, cyber security and data protection in many Asian countries. They maintain personal relationships with many local authorities. In Germany we ensure the optimal management for each project – in German, English or Chinese.
