• Pipeline construction needs to be
prioritized including streamlining the

CHINA AND
SUPPLY CHAIN
U.S. companies trying to sustain business in China. Companies are increasingly
likely to map out a multiyear strategy for developing products geared toward the
Chinese market, based on the company’s competitive advantage over local
alternatives, and what is considered “good enough” in the target segment. One
option is to partner with a local business in China to gain access to the market
with a mandate requiring purchases from indigenous companies. For example,
Hewlett-Packard Enterprise has a successful partnership with H3C that opens
the Chinese enterprise IT market for HPE.
In addition, U.S. companies might look to acquire assets or build new business
models in segments where China or the Eastern Bloc has a strength that the U.S.
lacks, such as 5G equipment.
Another key decision: Many companies are considering a “China-plus-one”
supply chain model to reduce dependence on Chinese suppliers, add
redundancy and increase resilience.
