These days, we take the march of China for granted. Though its economic juggernaut has slowed, Chinese output is now bigger than that of the US by some measure. Strategically, Beijing is making waves as far afield as Africa and Latin America. Militarily, it is starting to become more assertive, particularly in its near waters. But what about corporate China? Will Chinese companies too take the world by storm? Is it only a matter of time before many of us are chatting on Chinese-made mobile phones and driving Chinese-built cars?
如今,我們把中國的發展視作理所當然。儘管其巨大的經濟火車頭已經放慢速度,但中國當前的產出按一些方法衡量已經超過美國。戰略上,北京方面正在遙遠的非洲和拉丁美洲掀起波浪。軍事上,中國政府開始變得更加自信,尤其是在本國附近海域。但中國企業表現如何呢?中國企業也會掀起一場席捲世界的風暴嗎?未來我們中許多人使用中國生產的手機通話、駕駛中國製造的汽車只是時間問題嗎?
