Competing against Chinese SOEs for Global Infrastructure Projects

The Mission Question

A foreign government is looking to compete more effectively with Chinese state-owned enterprises. In recent years, its companies have lost several bids and a large share of overseas construction business to Chinese competitors that dominate global railway, port, mining, and telecoms infrastructure.

What You Need to Know

How are Chinese firms competing across key industries and regions? What is their record of project delivery and market conduct, and have state-backed financing arrangements been used to undercut domestic companies, exert political leverage, or secure strategic concessions?
