Economics Homework Help. WVU Amazon Corporation in China Discussion
Over the trade fight between the United States and China during the Trump administration, the COVID-19 pandemic, Xi Jinping’s pro-domestic policies, and recent China’s real estate giant, Evergrande’s default crisis, it appears that business environment around China has been rapidly changing. To understand political debate on China and trade more in details at the firm level, please study how American firms penetrate or fail to penetrate to China.
Please pick an American multinational corporation (e.g., Amazon, Apple, Boeing, Google, and Nike) and study its operation in China. Just briefly summarize anything you find: (1) some financial information (e.g., market share in China; sales growth in China; and exports/imports to/from China) and (2) some interesting stories related to its market access to China (e.g., Chinese government restrictions; competition with Chinese firms; outsourcing to Chinese firms). There are many interesting stories. For example, how Alibaba kicked Amazon out in Chinese e-commerce market, and how Google left China in 2010 due to government censorship. Some American firms (e.g., Apple and Nike) are using many Chinese workers in their production processes.
