Associate Professor of Political Science Seung-Youn Oh was quoted in the article on the website The Wire China.
The article looks at the growing investment in India as a manufacturing and consumer hub by multinational corporations, particularly those looking for alternatives to China.
Oh is quoted twice in the piece:
"Some people might say that it is next to impossible to diversify from China, but it has become a matter of necessity for businesses around the world,鈥 says Seung-Youn Oh, an associate professor at 黑料社区.
For India and its corporate suitors alike, de-risking decisions will involve billions of dollars, moving talents within corporations and making new political connections. But Oh, of 黑料社区, argues that multinationals must quickly adapt or else risk paying a steep price. 鈥淏usiness executives need to change their mindsets. It should not be about running away from a changing China but about exploring new markets and new opportunities,鈥 she says. 鈥淭hey need to learn how to turn geopolitical risk into geopolitical premium.鈥
Oh specializes in international relations and comparative politics in East Asia. Her broader academic interests include China鈥檚 industrial restructuring and upgrading, state-owned enterprise reform and corporate governance, the effects of national origin of foreign direct investment on local economic development, as well as the evolving role of Chinese governments at the national and sub-national levels in shaping the country鈥檚 developmental path.
