July 31 , 2020
Recently, the Center for China and Globalization (CCG) released the Report on Development of Overseas Chinese Entrepreneurs 2019, published by Social Sciences Academic Press of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. The chief editor of the book is Wang Huiyao, CCG president and member of the Expert Advisory Committee of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council, and Kang Rongping, head of the Global Overseas Chinese Entrepreneurs Research Institute at CCG. The report analyzes the current situation and development of Chinese entrepreneurs around the world and summarizes their achievements and contributions in the new situation of the world economy and different developmental stages of the Chinese economy.
The Report on Development of Overseas Chinese Entrepreneurs 2019 is the third of a series after similar reports were released in 2017 and 2018. The book consists of the General Report, Evaluation Reports, Special Issue Reports, Case Studies, and a section on Chinese Entrepreneurs in Africa.
The General Report analyzes the current environment for global Chinese entrepreneurs, their overall development, key characteristics in different regions, and features of the new generation with an in-depth study of their global networks. Taking the 40th year of Reform and Opening-up as a turning point, the report summarizes the investments and contributions of overseas Chinese entrepreneurs to China, analyzes the policy environment and platform that China has provided, and the integration “go global” Chinese enterprises with overseas Chinese entrepreneurs. Lastly, suggestions are made for the collaborative development of global Chinese entrepreneurs in the new era.
In the section on Evaluation Reports, researchers use indexes such as leadership, contribution to industry, and social impact, to assess the “Top 10 Chinese Entrepreneurs in the World.” In addition, a range of indexes are used to select the “Top 10 Chinese Enterprises Promoting China-Africa Cooperation,” such as enterprise size in Africa, contribution to Africa, business mode, and impact.
The section on Special Issue Reports examines characteristics of the development of global Chinese entrepreneurs from different perspectives, including Fujian entrepreneurs in South East Asia, China’s IT industry in Japan, Chinese entrepreneurs in Indonesia, Chinese entrepreneurs from Zhejiang, and overseas Chinese family enterprises. This chapter also contains articles from professors at Australian National University, which discuss Chinese entrepreneurs in Indonesia.
The section on Case Studies provides examples of global Chinese enterprises with distinctive characteristics. For example, Sany Group has gone global by pursuing a path of high-quality; Fotile Group has fused traditional Chinese culture and Confucian principles with entrepreneurship and management; Waitex Group, while established in the United States, has forged deep ties with China; CRRC Group, while rooted in the domestic market, has used branding and international communications to tell the story of its globalization; while Starlite Group has created a diversified development path of transnational groups.
The book also discusses China-Africa cooperation, which has entered a new stage involving a large number of overseas and mainland Chinese enterprises. This chapter presents research on the overall trends of Chinese investment in Africa, the activities of Wenzhounese entrepreneurs in Africa, and the case of Transsion’s mobile phone business in Africa.
