Conflict Resolution
When doing business with China on either an importing (sourcing) or exporting basis, virtually any situation can become the basis for a conflict. Some examples of the major conflicts that can arise include:
• Conflicts between the U.S. Company and the China Company
• Conflicts within the operation in China, whether among the key executives, or
between key leadership and the general workforce
• Conflicts between the Chinese company and the local government, such as
local tax bureaus
• Conflicts that arise out of differing quality standards and resulting disputes
• Conflicts related to costs, and most often cost increases of key inputs
• Conflicts related to logistics issues, such as delayed or damaged shipments
• Conflicts related to payments, specifically when payments should be made, in
what form, to whom, in what amount, etc.
• Conflicts related to timelines and commitments that haven’t been met
• Conflicts arising from engineering issues, possibly relating to accuracy,
precision, and tolerances of parts or assemblies
• Conflicts arising out of differing measurement systems
(SAE vs. metric), relatingto compatibility of products,
equipment, parts and components
