Mandarin-Speaking Staff to Assist Chinese Operations Overseas
Global logistics groups such as DHL and Kuehne+Nagel are redeploying Chinese staff to overseas locations where Chinese clients are expected to move their production facilities in anticipation of a tougher China trade policy under a second Trump presidency, the Financial Times reports.
These logistics groups, which include France’s CMA CGM as well as Switzerland’s Kuehne+Nagel and Germany’s DHL, serve Chinese customers that are moving manufacturing operations overseas to low-cost countries such as Vietnam and Thailand in order to circumvent U.S. import restrictions.
