Although most people still see the US as the leading economic power, China is gaining ground. In fact, respondents in seven out of ten European countries, as well as Australia and Russia, see China as the chief economic power, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewglobal.org\/2017\/07\/13\/more-name-u-s-than-china-as-worlds-leading-economic-power\/\">research<\/a> by the Pew Research Center. Many developing nations in Latin America and Africa also view the country positively.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-1716f0bc-4c37-8f3b-d868-ce512f434831\">But China\u2019s economic might isn\u2019t translating into soft power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Among factors to explain why this is the case,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/scholarlyrepository.miami.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?article=2896&amp;context=oa_dissertations\">my research has found<\/a> that the Chinese companies which embody Beijing\u2019s global reach suffer from a lack of confidence in their capacity to be good corporate citizens. In addition, underperformance can often be linked to the social and political environments in a specific host country.<\/p>\n<div class=\"factbox pull-right\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<p><!--End mc_embed_signup--><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-1716f0bc-4c37-8f3b-d868-ce512f434831\">Chinese businesses investing overseas are often criticised for making little or no contribution to\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/news.abs-cbn.com\/blogs\/business\/07\/04\/17\/opinion-chinese-laborers-for-china-funded-projects-in-our-country\">boosting local employment<\/a>, preferring instead to bring staff from China. There are also many cases in which they stand accused of harming the environment. For example, Chinese\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.mongabay.com\/2017\/02\/soy-invasion-poses-imminent-threat-to-amazon-say-agricultural-experts\/\">agricultural<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2017\/mar\/19\/ecuador-indigenous-shuar-el-tink-mining-land-dispute\">mining<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/international.thenewslens.com\/article\/71340\">logging<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/intercontinentalcry.org\/ecuadorian-indigenous-leaders-deliver-letter-calling-china-abandon-oil-drilling-territory\/\">oil companies<\/a>\u00a0have been criticised for encroaching on the Brazilian and Ecuadorian Amazons, exacerbating deforestation and damaging biodiversity.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-1716f0bc-4c37-8f3b-d868-ce512f434831\"><strong>CSR to the rescue<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>With more emphasis on corporate social responsibility (CSR), especially in less developed countries, Chinese companies can deliver greater local benefits, help preserve the environment, and also improve China\u2019s soft power. Of course, ameliorating the environmental and social footprints of Chinese businesses will require a long term and concerted effort between corporations, the Chinese state, and governmental and civic actors in host countries. But the payoffs for all sides \u2013 and the planet as a whole \u2013 would be substantial.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, unlike Beijing\u2019s other efforts to expand its global reach (like the Belt and Road Initiative), China lags behind its Western counterparts in instituting effective sustainability policies. Chinese policy makers have promulgated a series of political guidelines to promote CSR, including those crafted by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.sasac.gov.cn\/n1408035\/c1477196\/content.html\">the SASAC<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.internationalrivers.org\/resources\/guidelines-for-environmental-and-social-impact-assessments-of-the-china-export-and-import\">China Exim Bank<\/a>\u00a0as well as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sustainable-business\/blog\/china-sustainability-corporate-social-responsibility\">the Green Credit Guidelines<\/a>, but those frameworks are still limited in scope compared to those of the\u00a0EU\u00a0and\u00a0US.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-1716f0bc-4c37-8f3b-d868-ce512f434831\">China\u2019s rules mainly apply to state-owned enterprises and often use ambiguous language. They emphasise compliance with host country regulations and customs but do not encourage companies to &#8220;go beyond&#8221;, an approach that is more in line with the international perception of CSR. As a result, China\u2019s business culture lacks uniformity in how it applies CSR standards, with managers adopting different approaches on\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icaew.com\/-\/media\/corporate\/files\/technical\/research-and-academics\/tecpln14774-charities-chinese-web.ashx\">a firm-by-firm basis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-1716f0bc-4c37-8f3b-d868-ce512f434831\">Even so, Chinese companies\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/pardeeschool\/files\/2014\/12\/Working-Group-Final-Report.pdf\">do sometimes outperform<\/a>\u00a0their international competitors on CSR. One example is SAPET, a Peruvian subsidiary of the Chinese oil company CNPC. It was commended <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foe.org\/news\/archives\/2012-02-crude-beginnings-the-environmental-footprint-of-chin\">internationally<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.servindi.org\/actualidad\/1158\">local<\/a>\u00a0communities for divesting from a contested area of land that overlapped with indigenous territory in the Madres de Dios. In contrast, the Spanish company\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fenamad-indigenas.blogspot.com\/search?q=sapet\">Repsol-YPF<\/a>\u00a0was condemned by local civil society groups for trespassing on the territories of the local Pananujuri, Taromenane and Taushiro peoples.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-1716f0bc-4c37-8f3b-d868-ce512f434831\">But one stellar performance does not a culture of CSR make.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In many cases, the same companies who earn praise in one market have woeful records elsewhere. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/article\/why-ecuador-selling-its-economic-and-environmental-future-china\/\">Andespetro<\/a>, the Ecuadorian subsidiary of CNPC and Sinopec, has encountered fervent protests over its expansionary moves in the Amazon and for hiding its use of a Chinese management team despite a promise to employ locals. Like Ecuador\u2019s national oil corporations Petroecuador and Petroamazonas and Western predecessor Chevron, Andespetro is under fire for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/business-humanrights.org\/en\/human-rights-impacts-of-oil-pollution-ecuador-22\">frequent oil spills<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amazonwatch.org\/news\/2014\/0920-voices-from-ecuador-echo-in-new-york\">problematic community relations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-1716f0bc-4c37-8f3b-d868-ce512f434831\">These deficiencies have been made worse by weak oversight and enforcement from Beijing. They are also a setback for Chinese companies interacting with host communities overseas. Just look at Africa, where despite being <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.africanews.com\/2017\/05\/04\/china-becomes-single-largest-contributor-of-africa-s-fdi-report\/\">the single largest source of FDI<\/a>,\u00a0feelings about China are mixed. Some fear that Chinese investments betray\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.herald.co.zw\/china-the-imperialist-peoples-republic-of-africa\/\">neo-imperialist<\/a>\u00a0ambitions, and the ambiguous, often\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.devex.com\/news\/is-csr-the-missing-ingredient-in-the-china-africa-relationship-81747\">top-down nature<\/a>\u00a0of Chinese CSR has only served to fuel those suspicions.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-1716f0bc-4c37-8f3b-d868-ce512f434831\">Missed opportunities to help address emergencies in poorer nations, like the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, have not helped either. While\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/gch2.201600001\/full\">Beijing<\/a> contributed state-sponsored humanitarian aid and technical assistance, Chinese companies active in disease-stricken countries like Guinea rushed to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/nikolas-kozloff\/ebola-crisis-what-about-c_b_6123180.html\">pull out<\/a>, leaving their local employees and partners to fend for themselves.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-1716f0bc-4c37-8f3b-d868-ce512f434831\">This stood in sharp contrast to private actors from other countries. The Russian aluminium company\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/g20executivetalkseries.com\/cover\/september-2016\/global-health\/\">UC Rusal<\/a>, one of the largest investors in Guinea, not only stayed fully operational during the crisis but took an active role in the fight against Ebola. As part of a public-private partnership (PPP), Rusal\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/aluminiuminsider.com\/firms-give-back-profiles-csr-aluminium-industry\/\">invested US$10 million<\/a>\u00a0(67 million yuan) to build an epidemic research and treatment centre designed by its own engineers. Separately,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.arcelormittal.com\/2016\/04\/11\/ebola-in-west-africa-the-private-sector-has-shown-it-can-rise-to-the-challenge\/\">11 London-based companies<\/a>\u00a0with long-term business dealings in West Africa formed a group named ESPMG to mobilise local skills and resources. They attracted over 100 companies and 50 public bodies and NGOs to join the cause at the peak of the crisis.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-1716f0bc-4c37-8f3b-d868-ce512f434831\"><strong>Room for growth<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Why, then, do Chinese companies act as responsible stewards in some cases but not in others?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/scholarlyrepository.miami.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?article=2896&amp;context=oa_dissertations\">My own research<\/a>\u00a0traces these divergences to differences in host countries\u2019 regulatory structures and civil societies. To put it simply, Chinese companies are most willing to commit to CSR when host governments facilitate economic competitiveness and decentralisation, all while upholding inclusive policies toward civil society. Companies are more likely to follow through on their CSR commitments when faced with a unified, collaborative civil society.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-1716f0bc-4c37-8f3b-d868-ce512f434831\">Of course, multinational corporations also fall short on CSR in places where economic activity is subject to centralised, non-competitive governance and where civil society is constrained. The effects are exacerbated, though, when host governments have extensive economic ties with China or profess political sympathies for Beijing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Governments that find themselves dependent on China or overly keen to embrace the country tend to favour Chinese investment over the considerations and demands of local communities, viewing engagement with China as an indispensable part of their national interest.<\/p>\n<p>Faced with little competition and lax oversight, Chinese companies (like their Western counterparts) lapse into reckless behaviour. But those firms could still learn to excel in CSR given the right incentives and beneficial outside pressures; local governments and civil society, for instance, can provide regulatory and communal oversight. Whether or not China comes to be seen as a positive global force depends on their success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chinese companies invested abroad must work harder to
