Mark Harrison, head of KPMG China's multinational company channel, made the comments in an interview on the sidelines of the 17th Annual Meeting of the New Champions, or the Summer Davos, in northeast China's coastal city of Dalian. Harrison said that from his experience serving and surveying multinational enterprises, the Chinese market means stability to foreign investors. "In recent years, we've talked a lot with our clients about what strategy to adapt, adopt for your China business? Do you make acquisitions? Do you consider leaving China? There's been many surveys conducted in recent years where probably the number one concern for most multinationals is market access, level playing field. These always come out as concerns that multinationals have. Multinational companies at the moment, they see China as a very stable and reliable market to operate in. I think this can attract more investment, again, given this stability that is perceived of China," he said. The business services professional also dismissed the widespread media narrative that multinationals are pulling out of China, saying that runs counter to his personal experience. "I have many Chinese friends, colleagues, clients who ask me about this question. And they hear or understand that many multinationals are considering leaving China. I know anecdotally, it's not true from the work that we're doing, but we in the survey I mentioned that we did last year, I mentioned 75 percent said they were considering investing, only 1 percent said they were considering a China exit. Generally speaking, on the rare occasion that we see an exit, it's normally part of a global strategy to exit a business unit. So it's not about China. It's about part of the business. So we've got a multinational who, for example, wants to sell business unit A globally, including China. Actually, to be honest, it's very rare that it's due to a geopolitical reason," Harrison said.
