And is it now the right time for MNCs to raise their priorities directly with Chinese legislators?</p><p>Dive straight into the eye of the geopolitical storm: <strong>Trump’s second term – the first 100 days</strong>, and what they mean for multinationals operating in China. Turbulent, chaotic, disorienting? Yes. But also a brutal masterclass in leadership under uncertainty. </p><p><strong>Guests: Anne-Sophie Zerlang Karlsen</strong>, Head of Operations in Asia Pacific for Maersk with her finger on the pulse of multinational operations across borders.
