活动简介

Protecting the lives and assets of citizens overseas has always been an important mission for any country. historically, it has been a cause for military intervention in foreign countries but that has become an increasingly infrequent event because of their rising costs and thanks to the use of insurances. Today, however, the operation of Chinese companies in North Africa and the Middle East remain highly rick-acceptant due to regional instability. In this talk, the speaker will examine how Chinese decisionmakers address the problem of protecting the lives and assets of Chinese nationals in unstable countries and regions.
