This book offers an in-depth and comprehensive analysis of global supply chains through the dual dimensions of time and region, which include their origins, current challenges, and future trajectories. It highlights the impact of natural disasters and geopolitical risks, illustrating how these factors underscore the vulnerabilities and dependencies within supply chain networks. The focus on China's role in global supply chains is particularly relevant, given the country's significant impact on global trade, manufacturing, and economic health. Additionally, by offering concrete case studies and detailed discussions on the overseas expansion of Chinese companies, the book serves as a valuable resource for understanding their strategies, the challenges they face, and the impacts of their global activities on both their home economy and the global economic landscape. The book's unique approach combines rigorous analysis with practical advice, making it an indispensable resource for anyone looking to understand and respond to the evolving dynamics of global supply chains.
