THE BEIJING AXIS AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL
3 Synergistic Cross-Border China Businesses
THE BEIJING AXIS is a cross-border business bridge to/from China in three principal
areas: Strategy, Sourcing and Investment.
Since our establishment in 2002, we have successfully worked with many international and
Chinese MNC clients across various sectors and industries, but our core focus is on the
Chinese mining and resources sector, and on China’s burgeoning industrial and engineering
sector. Our work is always cross-border — supporting international firms as they act in
unfamiliar territory in China, or supporting Chinese firms as they venture out and go global.
We are committed to safety and sustainability; and our solutions emphasize 'actions and
transactions’.
THE BEIJING AXIS is organised along 3 synergistic cross-border China businesses: the
China Strategy Group, China Sourcing Unit and China Capital Advisors.
