– The political rules of the game in the People’s Republic of China have shifted several times since Xi Jinping took office in 2012.

  • The first shift occurred in 2013 with the introduction of the anti-corruption campaign.

– Businesses, investors, and governments must recognize what the shift in the political rules of the game to mitigate Black Swan risks and seize opportunities.
