Trade disruptions are a top concern for most companies in China in 2026. <\/p>\n<p>According to the Allianz Risk Barometer report, this risk includes supply chain disruptions. &#8220;The rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) is now the second top concern in China,&#8221; the report said, adding that insurance companies should monitor this. \u2019<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, changes in laws and regulations have become a third concern for Chinese companies. In the study conducted by Allianz Risk Barometer, 33 percent of respondents cited it as a major factor. Market developments and macroeconomic changes are among the top five headaches. <\/p>\n<p>Globally and in the Asia Pacific region, cyber incidents, AI and trade disruption are the most significant risks. &#8220;AI saw its biggest jump in the rankings this year, moving up from 10th place in 2025 to 2nd place globally in 2026,&#8221; the report said. \u2019<\/p>\n<p>The change reflects the growing recognition of AI as a source of logistical, legal, and reputational challenges, the report said. &#8220;This is because all of these industries are expanding rapidly,&#8221; the report said. <\/p>\n<p>Concerns about trade barriers in China are heavily influenced by geopolitical changes and growing protectionism. As a result, trade restrictions have tripled. This affects about $2.7 trillion worth of goods. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Intense competition and AI readiness are also important factors,&#8221; said Benson Peng, country head of Allianz Commercial China. China&#8217;s AI Plus initiative aims to integrate intelligent terminals in 90 percent of key regions by 2030. This further strengthens the role of technology in mitigating local risks. \u2013Agency<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kathmandu.
