Top Speakers on China Going Global: Chinese Brands, Technology and Global Business
China’s role in global business is evolving. Beyond its importance as a manufacturing base and consumer market, Chinese companies, technology platforms, brands and investors are increasingly looking outward—competing for customers, capital and influence across Asia and international markets.
For business leaders, this raises important questions. How will the international expansion of Chinese companies reshape global competition? Which Chinese technologies and business models could succeed overseas? How should brands adapt when entering new markets? And what do changing economic and geopolitical conditions mean for companies doing business with China?
For conference and corporate event organisers exploring the theme of “China Going Global,” the right speaker can help audiences understand these developments from very different perspectives.
Here are six leading speakers who can bring valuable insights to the conversation.
Andy Xie: China Economics and Global Macro Trends
Economist Andy Xie brings a macroeconomic perspective to understanding China’s changing place in the global economy.
His analysis covers China’s economy, financial markets, economic policy and the wider forces shaping Asia and global business. For organisations trying to understand China Going Global, this broader economic context is important: the international ambitions of Chinese businesses cannot be separated from developments in China’s domestic economy, trade relationships and the global economic environment.
Andy is particularly relevant for conferences bringing together CEOs, investors, financial professionals and senior decision-makers who want to examine the economic forces behind China’s international trajectory.
Winston Ma: Investment, Technology and China’s Digital Economy
Winston Ma offers a distinctive perspective at the intersection of China, investment, technology and the digital economy.
A former Managing Director and Head of the North America Office at China Investment Corporation (CIC), Winston has extensive experience connecting developments in Chinese capital and technology with international markets.
His insights are particularly relevant as governments, sovereign investors and corporations consider the strategic importance of AI, digital infrastructure and emerging technologies. He can help audiences examine how investment, technology policy and digital transformation are influencing China’s position in the global economy.
Winston is a strong choice for conferences focused on investment, AI, digital economy, financial services and the changing relationship between China and global capital markets.
Rui Ma: Chinese Technology, Startups and Innovation
Rui Ma helps international audiences understand what is happening inside China’s fast-moving technology ecosystem.
As the founder of Tech Buzz China, she has closely followed Chinese technology companies, entrepreneurs, investors and emerging business models. Her perspective can help audiences move beyond headlines to understand how Chinese technology businesses actually develop, compete and scale.
As more Chinese technology companies look beyond their domestic market, understanding their competitive strengths, operating models and innovation culture becomes increasingly important for international businesses.
Rui is particularly well suited to technology conferences, innovation summits and leadership events exploring Chinese tech, entrepreneurship, AI, startups and the future of global competition.
Siew Ting Foo: Chinese Brands Going Global
For organisations interested in how Chinese brands can succeed internationally, Siew Ting Foo brings a highly relevant marketing and consumer perspective.
Her expertise spans global brand building, consumer behaviour, marketing transformation and Asian markets. She can explore what happens when brands that have succeeded in China take their ambitions overseas—and why international growth requires more than simply exporting a successful domestic formula.
From understanding local consumers to building trust, adapting brand positioning and navigating cultural differences, Siew Ting can help audiences examine the challenges and opportunities facing Chinese companies as they build global brands.
She is particularly relevant for CMO forums, marketing conferences and leadership events focused on branding, consumer trends and the international expansion of Asian businesses.
Haiyan Wang: China Strategy and Globalisation
Haiyan Wang brings a strategic perspective to the changing relationship between China, emerging markets and global business.
Her work has focused extensively on globalisation, strategy and the implications of the rise of China and other emerging markets for multinational companies. This makes her particularly relevant for senior executives seeking to understand how shifts in global economic power are changing competitive strategy.
For a China Going Global programme, Haiyan can help audiences consider the bigger strategic questions: how should international businesses respond to new competitors from China? Where are opportunities for collaboration? And how should leaders rethink global strategy as Chinese and other emerging-market companies become increasingly influential internationally?
Her perspective is particularly valuable for CEO conferences, strategy forums and executive leadership meetings.
Sharon Gai: E-commerce and Digital Transformation
Sharon Gai brings practical insight into China’s digital commerce ecosystem and the technologies transforming how companies reach consumers.
With experience at Alibaba, she offers audiences an inside perspective on e-commerce, digital transformation, innovation and the rapid evolution of China’s technology-driven consumer economy.
Her insights are particularly relevant as Chinese e-commerce companies, digital platforms and digitally native brands expand into international markets. She can help business audiences understand how approaches developed in China’s highly competitive digital ecosystem may influence commerce and customer experience elsewhere.
Sharon is a strong choice for conferences focused on e-commerce, retail, digital transformation, technology and the future of customer experience.
Choosing the Right China Going Global Speaker
“China Going Global” is not a single topic. It encompasses economics, investment, technology, branding, e-commerce, geopolitics and corporate strategy.
For event organisers, the best speaker therefore depends on the questions the audience needs answered. Andy Xie can provide the macroeconomic context; Winston Ma can explore investment, technology and the digital economy; Rui Macan unpack China’s technology and startup ecosystem; Siew Ting Foo can address Chinese brands expanding internationally; Haiyan Wang can examine global strategy; and Sharon Gai can bring the perspective of China’s rapidly evolving digital commerce landscape.
Together, these speakers can help business leaders better understand what China Going Global means for international competition—and how organisations can respond to the opportunities and challenges ahead.
