Geopolitics Set to Dismantle Global Business
My Explosive Talk with Dr. Edward Tse
Last month, I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Edward Tse, a globally renowned Chinese management expert and thought leader, at his office in Shanghai. Dr. Tse graciously presented an autographed copy of his latest bestselling book, China in the New World, which offers timely insights into China’s evolving role in the global landscape.
The visit included an interactive Q&A session with Dr. Tse’s team of high‑potential young professionals, followed by a comprehensive interview focused on some of the most pressing issues facing global business leaders today.

Key themes discussed during the interaction included:
- China’s remarkable transformation in business, industry, and technology over the past two decades
- The implications of a shifting global order for corporations and investors
- The defining characteristics of high‑performing and competitive companies in the new world economy
- Pathways for enhanced collaboration between China and India
- Cultural similarities and differences shaping business engagement between the two nations
The interview underscores the importance of dialogue, mutual understanding and strategic collaboration in an increasingly multipolar world. A video recording of the discussion is available on my blog. I extend my sincere thanks to Dr. Tse for an engaging and intellectually enriching exchange.


Very insightful on a possible comprehensive strategic relationship beyond a limited supply chain dynamics in present geopolitical scenario
Needs a lot of trust and confidence building though we share similarities in culture as governance models differ but yes adaptability is the key
