After the market close in the US yesterday 4th June the Wall Street Journal published an Op-Ed by US Senator Marco Rubio in which he announced that he intends to sponsor the “Equitable Act” – an acronym for Ensuring Quality Information and Transparency for Abroad-Based Listings on our Exchanges. At this time the text of the bill has not been published and we are seeking additional information about its contents and likelihood of passing. However, our early reaction is that this has the potential to cause significant changes in the domain for listings of Chinese firms going forward with the potential for de- listing of Chinese firms on US exchanges and re-listing elsewhere (most likely Hong Kong). More generally we see this development as part of an increased escalation of tensions between China and the US on multiple fronts which should cap the valuation multiple for China equities, in particular in the offshore index constituents and US-listed parts of the universe. We provide a list of the potentially impacted China / HK names with either primary or secondary listings on Amex, NYSE or Nasdaq.

    The role of the Belt and Road Initiative on Chinese multinational enterprise strategy: a multiple case study A Master Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Economics and Business by Justin Brandsma S2734818 Supervisor: H.U. Haq Co-assessor: J.R. de Wit WC: 16484 June 2020 Groningen, The Netherlands The role of the BRI on Chinese MNE strategy 2 The role of the BRI on Chinese MNE strategy Foreword In front of you lies my master thesis on: “the Role of the Belt and Road Initiative on Chinese multinational strategy: a multiple case study“, written as part of the master’s degree in International Business and Management at the University of Groningen. I consider this thesis to be the culmination of 6 beautiful student years in the even more beautiful city of Groningen, a wonderful period of my life! My choice for this thesis topic dates back to my late middle-school and early high-school years where I developed a big interest in the ancient Greek history and mythology. Especially the tales of Alexander the Great who managed to expand the Macedonian empire all the way to northeast India were intriguing to me. This Greek venture East in 334BC led to the establishment of the earliest version of a trade route between Constantinople (Turkey) and Xi’an (China), known as the Silkroad. 1600 years later Marco Polo would travel this route from Venice to China and work as the personal advisor of the Mongolian ruler: Kublai Khan. The accumulation of his experiences and adventures in the East came together in the brilliant travel memoire written by Rusticello da Pisa named ‘il Milione’ or commonly known as the ‘the travels of Marco Polo’.

    The internationalization of emerging market multinationals: An alternative typology Hsu, Ho-Wei University College London, Student Academia Sinica, Research Assistant Email: [email protected] Paper presented at the 6th Copenhagen Conference on: 'Emerging Multinationals': Outward Investment from Emerging Economies, Copenhagen, Denmark, 11-12 October 2018 1 Abstract: The paper introduces a new and augmented taxonomy of internationalization strategy and it is created by examining the country- and firm-specific advantages leveraged and their global value chains participation. The taxonomy includes four types of strategies: Home Country Advantage Exploiter, Emerging Market Optimizer, Value Chain Climber, and Industry Leader. Each strategy relies on a different combination of country- and firm-specific advantages and results in a different mode of global value chain participation. Each category is accompanied by a case study. The four companies included in this project are: Tung Thih, Giant, Hisense, and Huawei. By developing a multi-dimensional taxonomy of strategy that is tailored to the circumstances of emerging economies, the internationalization process of multinational enterprises from these regions can be better understood. 2 INTRODUCTION Driven by economic growth, trade liberalization, and globalization, enterprises from the emerging economies have achieved remarkable success in recent years. Some of them are integral components of the value chains of big Western multinationals and others have become leading players, pioneering advanced technologies, design, and engineering. Companies from emerging economies such as Taiwan, China, Russia, and Brazil have achieved impressive growth and garnered attention as major players in the global business arena. Despite recent slowdown in the global markets, emerging market multinationals are growing faster than their counterparts from developed markets.
