BEIJING, March 24-- International SOS, a provider of risk management and emergency services, is positive on the Chinese market and looking at opportunities from the Belt and Road Initiative as Chinese companies go global. Headquartered in London and Singapore, the world's leading medical and travel security service company believes that the Chinese market shows huge potential, according to Arnaud Vaissie, Co-founder and CEO of International SOS, in an interview. "As China enters the second phase of high-quality development with even more of an open door policy, we can better help Chinese companies establish their global mobility plans," he said. China's business travel market has become the largest in the world, ahead of the United States, according to Vaissie, citing the 9-percent growth rate last year and referencing a recent study on corporate travel conducted by Ctrip. The company is about to launch a new platform on WeChat for Chinese employees of its clients and to provide more services in Mandarin, he said. He said he was impressed by "the speed at which Chinese companies are expanding." Under the initiative, which aims to build trade and infrastructure networks connecting Asia with Europe and Africa, Chinese companies are showing interest in "complex territories," according to the CEO. For Vaissie, more Chinese companies, especially state-owned enterprises, are seeking global standards that offer advice from home to better protect the safety of their employees during their overseas expansion. |
