OK, that sounds familiar, we've heard the same from the other side of the table.

  • China has a plan to name foreign companies as a risk to national security
  • This is expected to be used as a key bargaining chip in trade talks with the US
  • foreign companies that are deemed to hurt China's legitimate interests or pose a risk to national security to be listed as "unreliable entities"

Is anyone expecting much of these talks? I'm not.

A key risk for seems to be a complacent market.
