Beijing picked 19,000 companies to win. Many are already in our supply chains
ASPI launched the China Little Giants Tracker, a searchable database of high-tech SMEs designated under Beijing's Little Giants program. More than 19,000 companies have been designated since 2019 across seven national batches. Many are already in Western supply chains and households, and some have defence connections or components found in Russian weapons.
Why it matters: The tracker matters for supply chains because Little Giants are embedded in Western critical infrastructure and can create dependencies that Beijing can tighten, price or withhold.
