Companies could benefit from strategic actions

Navigating uncertainties over Brexit is not easy, especially for Chinese companies relatively new to the UK market and still building up an understanding of the local policy environment.

While a wait-and-see approach seems the safest option, a more proactive attitude to finding new opportunities and taking risk control measures may achieve better rewards.

Companies that are in the UK to seek technological upgrades or to connect British brands with China's booming consumer markets are in a good position to proceed with their investment plans, as their focus does not depend on the UK's access to the European Union or the country's economic growth rate.
