Risks from Political Relationships

The Chinese business has great potential and is very attractive, but it has risks. One of the risks in developing a Chinese business is the risk of political relations between the Japanese and Chinese governments.

Risks from Political Relationships

When Japanese companies expand into China, the concern is the political relationship between Japan and China. The political relationship between Japan and China changes depending on the times, the statements of government officials, and trends in other countries. And that change in political relationships will have a significant impact on the business connecting Japan and China.

Business not only in China but also in foreign countries is greatly affected by political relationships. In many cases, when business has begun to take off, political relations between Japan and the country have rapidly cooled, resulting in significant losses.

The cooling of political relations can be triggered by policy changes on the Japanese side or by the Chinese side. Of course, you don't stay cold all the time, and you can walk up to each other and restore your relationship. However, when it happens, it is impossible to predict in what cycle the relationship will change.

When developing a Chinese business, it is important to pay attention to the political relationship between Japan and China, and take steps to limit the adverse effects on the business even if the political relationship between Japan and China cools down.

It is also a good idea to venture into China when relations with China are chilling. In such a case, rival companies will be more likely to enter the market, and there will be fewer rivals in the market.
