Summary

Twenty-five years after Chinese firms began their globalisation process, some of them have become global game changers and represented in the Fortune Global 500. This chapter begins by discussing the nature, types, and extent of changes these firms have brought about. Then, the chapter points out the growing challenges, including the challenges posed by Chinese firms’ overseas operations and merger and acquisition activities that would affect the perceptions of these firms in the international market. The third part of the chapter takes a futuristic lens and proposes how ‘Chinese firms going global’ will evolve, including a discussion on the extent the world accepts globalising Chinese firms and the impact world acceptance may pose on these firms’ future and growth.
