Economic growth in China is experiencing a notable slowdown, posing significant challenges for Western firms that have long viewed the country as a lucrative market. Companies such as Apple and Starbucks, once optimistic about their prospects in China, are now grappling with intensified competition and shifting consumer preferences.
The landscape for foreign businesses is becoming increasingly complex as local companies ramp up their efforts to capture market share. Additionally, geopolitical tensions between China and Western nations are creating an uncertain environment, further complicating operations for foreign enterprises.
