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; with a core focus 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
THE BEIJING AXIS AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL

STRATEGIC INTENT IN OUR SERVICE DELIVERY
China Strategy Group
TBA China Strategy Group (CSG) assist CEO’s, boards and senior management with their cross-border China strategy formulation and implementation. For international MNCs we are a trusted China strategy advisor and implementation partner; for Chinese MNCs we perform strategic business planning and implementation as they develop global businesses
China Sourcing Unit
TBA China Sourcing Unit (CSU) supports international firms as they exploit China’s status as a leading global supply-base; whilst at the same time supporting Chinese firms that are looking at global sourcing. The CSU provides a comprehensive range of procurement services across the supply chain with a focus on cost savings, quality control and on-time delivery. We emphasize total cost of ownership and holistic risk management
China Capital Advisors
TBA China Capital Advisors (CCA) provides specialised financial advisory services to Chinese firms that are undertaking outbound cross-border investment, or that are vying for international investment. Similarly, we advise international firms that are undertaking investments in China or that are looking to attract strategic capital from China. The focus is on origination activities, but we provide selected services across the transaction chain

STRATEGIC INTENT ACROSS OUR CHOSEN MARKETS (I)
Synergistic China Cross-border Business Solutions t o/from Clearly Targeted Markets
China-Africa Desk
TBA China-Africa Desk has been a clear leader in its field over the past 6years. Our knowledge base, experience curve, client list and project track record is unrivaled. Based on our China-Africa strategy, sourcing and investment project experience, our team is widely regarded as one of the leading teams in the market. The China-Africa desk is supported by an office in Johannesburg that works closely with our China-based professionals and experts to deliver complex cross-border China-Africa solutions across our strategy, sourcing and investment businesses
China-Russia Desk
TBA China-Russia Desk has grown significantly over the past 2 years. Our knowledge base, experience curve and track record have expanded and we have attracted a top team - and a list of notable clients. Our China-Russia desk is augmented by an office in Moscow that enables solid cross-border service delivery in our strategy, sourcing and investment businesses
China-Australia Desk
TBA China-Australia Desk is the latest geographical addition for us. Over the past 1-2 years our knowledge of China-Australia relations has grown and we have started to attract more clients. An office in Perth is under development

STRATEGIC INTENT ACROSS OUR CHOSEN MARKETS (II)
Synergistic China Cross-border Business Solutions t o/from Clearly Targeted Markets
Selected Niche Markets
We have identified selected niche markets that are viewed as current or future priorities:
Latin America Desk
Latam is a current priority. Our China-Latam efforts find expression in the fact that we have added Spanish language skills to our capability set. Meanwhile, throughout 2008 and into 2009, we are actively developing this business and reaching out to potential target clients and partners in China and South America
India Desk & Middle East Desk
India’s status as a large rapidly growing developing country, whilst being a neighbour of China, is seen as an opportunity. Similarly, the rapid growth of the Middle East, and the relatively low level of China-Middle East engagement, is seen as an attractive opportunity. Over the course of 2009 and 2010 we will invest progressively more time and effort in these markets
Key Industries
TBA works across a range of sectors but key industries, where we hold significant expertise and experience, have emerged. These are: mining & resources; industry & manufacturing; and engineering
