NEWS RELEASE
China's logistics data management platform could give it unmatched power in global market, experts argue
Chinese companies may have an extreme advantage in the global market thanks to the country's impressive logistics data management platform, according to a new report from Rice's Baker Institute for Public Policy. Beijing seeks to minimize its foreign dependencies while making trade partners more dependent on China, and superior logistics data tools represent an opportunity to advance those efforts, argues Gabe Collins, the Baker Botts Fellow in Energy and Environmental Regulatory Affairs at the Baker Institute, and Jack Bianchi, fellow at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments.
