I'm not sure if I'm impacted in any way, but it seems geopolitical concerns might increasingly affecting projects, particularly with recent policy changes.

This is an example of an event which should be planned for - given that there are still more than 2 months till the new President gets sworn in, there is sufficient time to identify risks impacting in flight projects and to respond to those, even if the response is just to accept the risk.
And given how close the polls were leading up to the election, the risks caused by a Republican win could have been addressed before election day. Kiron

The Trump win will obviously come with the potential to impact running projects and upcoming ones. Here the PM will have to adapt to the new changes
Your company will need to thoroughly review your client's concerns, separate the risks into their smallest parts and come up with mitigation plans for each. How your company addresses exchange rate risk, for example, may be different from how they might handle increased taxes and tariffs. Ideally, the HK cloud center has its own strategy/ risk profile which includes its unique geopolitical risks. Reviewing this may help you qualify the client's concern - what disruptions do they feel are likely or unlikely? Do they feel the data itself is at risk, or the cost of providing services? I've read there could also be inflation on the dollar - will other geographies be at an advantage or disadvantage? HK in particular has been under constant pressure from China. The Chinese government requires access to Apple's Chinese consumer list, and leveraged this against HK protesters in 2019.

"Impartial observers from other planets would consider ours an utterly bizarre enclave if it were populated by birds, defined as flying animals, that nevertheless rarely or never actually flew. They would also be perplexed if they encountered in our seas, lakes, rivers and ponds, creatures defined as swimmers that never did any swimming. But they would be even more surprised to encounter a species defined as a thinking animal if, in fact, the creature very rarely indulged in actual thinking." - Steve Allen |
