South China Morning Post Upload Date & Time, Diterbitkan 23.06, 08/06/2019 See detail If the trading relationship between China and the United States had been formed by children, could a win-win situation have emerged instead of the present dispute between the two? That is the question an online game to be launched at the end of this year, which simulates trading conditions between the two countries in the early 19th century, is hoping to answer.

Since 2017, China has criticized ever more openly communication campaigns launched by international companies outside its borders that directly or indirectly address Chinese issues. --Beijing is using its economic power to assert its own geopolitical agenda or to promote its own initiatives, such as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). --The Chinese government has at its disposal a powerful tool with which it can target foreign companies. It can engender and mute (social) media debate in a very targeted way. At the same time, state control over the media and the internet mean foreign companies have a hard time addressing Chinese stakeholders and the public, especially in crisis situations. --International companies face a dilemma in crisis management.

Today, the principal crisis-prone area in the world is the Arabian peninsula. One can’t miss noticing in daily headlines the threat of war between Iran and the United States. Particularly worrisome is fear of an accidental incident in the Persian Gulf between vessels of the two countries that might trigger a wider conflict with global consequences.
