With the establishment of global factory layouts and supply chains, the critical thing for enterprises going overseas is the human resources issue, such as global labour cost, capabilities, and international labour standards. In addition, due to cultural differences, geopolitical risks, and the compliance policies of different countries, Chinese enterprises have encountered a lot of difficulties in overseas business expansion. For example, Chinese companies often face challenges in immersing in local culture and not being able to communicate with overseas consumers. Local talents are unable to fully participate in making decisions, and staff also feel it difficult to capture clients’ preferences and social trends. The restricted policies also impede Chinese enterprises from going overseas.

More importantly, each country’s labour unions, tax, and legal policies are different; the laws and regulations are complex and diverse. The compliance requirements of different countries also keep changing, Facing with changing taxes and regulations, enterprises must be timely informed or even be informed in advance, otherwise they are likely to face heavy penalties.
