Strategic Operations in China
Welcome to a world where nothing is quite what it seems.
For almost two intense years, Stiig Waever has lived and worked in China, navigating the complex landscape of China’s hidden underworld, far from the tourist tracks and deep into shadowy alleys, remote factories, and neon-lit city chaos.
Employed by a private security firm and international businesses, Stiig handled corporate fraud investigations, surveillance missions, high-stakes negotiations, and cases that defy belief.
From chopstick diplomacy and bizarre cultural encounters to full-blown car chases through crowded megacities, this is the China few outsiders ever see.
In this gripping keynote, Stiig opens the door to:
*Tactics used to uncover deception in powerful Chinese corporations
*Chases through megacities under neon lights
*Covert ops inside remote factories
*Tense showdowns with deceptive insiders
*Survival in a surveillance state where truth is a moving target
*What happens when you're caught in a lie—in a place where truth is negotiable
*And the small, strange, human moments that change everything
Told with wit, intensity, and a razor-sharp eye for detail, this talk offers a rare mix of adrenaline, insight, and cultural discovery.
With first-hand intel, behind-the-scenes access, and a razor-sharp eye for details, Stiig delivers a keynote packed with adrenaline and insight, part spy thriller, part masterclass in human behavior under pressure.".
It’s fast. It’s sharp. It’s unforgettable.
If you think you understand China—think again.
