While many U.S. companies from #Apple to #Starbucks continue to see falling China sales as consumer spending stalls and local competition increases, some including Tesla have bucked the trend. Isaac Stone Fish, CEO and founder of Strategy Risks, states that “people need to understand that there’s a real possibility of increased tensions between the U.S. and China. There is a potential Chinese invasion in Taiwan or a blockade that would upend global supply chains and really distort the market as it is today.” https://lnkd.in/ecKDiwKk?

Great to chat with the South China Morning Post about what the recent Trump cabinet picks mean for U.S. policy towards China. Isaac Stone Fish of Strategy Risks, a New York-based global risk firm focused on China, believed “there certainly will be a tension in the Trump administration” between those who “want to make a deal and those who take a more principled stance on democracy promotion,?human rights?and countering”?China’s military. To think of Trump as only transactional would be “naive”, Stone Fish said. “One needs to understand his very real ability to often be swayed by the last person who talks to him and his very strong views on reducing US troop exposure in the region.” “That is certainly a positive for Beijing and that is something that I think people in the cabinet are going to push back very strongly against,” he added. https://lnkd.in/eZNjgmaF

Strategy Risks found a correlation between higher China Supply Chain Exposure Scores and poorer market performance on Wednesday, the day after the election. The Strategy Risks Index 250 (SR 250) ranks top American companies on their China exposure. In the SR 250, apparel, clothing and food industries list among the most exposed to China-related supply chain disruptions, which Donald Trump’s promised 60% tariffs on Chinese imports would likely trigger.

How should US businesses prepare for a war or an emergency in Taiwan? In light of China's massive military drills, it'a an important -- and sometimes crucial -- topic of conversation. “Big companies are really starting to understand that China’s increasing threats and potential invasion of Taiwan is an issue that they absolutely need to grapple with,” says Isaac Stone Fish, CEO of Strategy Risks, a business intelligence firm that quantifies corporate exposure to China. “The smart ones are pricing this risk into their strategies, but for certain sensitive sectors like semiconductors, it could be existential for their business.” “Corporate boards are realizing that if there is a change in status quo between China and Taiwan, they could face shareholder lawsuits for not properly addressing those geopolitical risks by lowering dependencies,” says Stone Fish. “Companies need to provide shareholders with accurate information about these material risks.” https://lnkd.in/exsDR3jK
