Chinese Private Security Companies Facing the Challenges and Threats of the Global Security Services Market

Summary/Abstract: The phenomenon of security privatization has undeniably become global in nature. One of the most characteristic manifestations of this process is the emergence of an increasing number of private security companies (PSCs). Their client portfolios include international organizations, states, corporations, and private individuals. The business model of these entities took shape in the last decade of the 20th century, where they are typically private companies independent of government. Thanks to private capital, they offer a diverse range of both military and non-military security services. A notable development in the well-established PSC market is the emergence of Chinese companies providing such services. However, their modus operandi—similar to that of Russian companies—differs significantly from established market standards. This article seeks to explore the specific characteristics of private security companies established in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), the factors shaping the regulatory frameworks governing these entities, and their preparedness for addressing challenges and threats arising from dynamic changes in the international system. The research utilizes a systems analysis approach, as the global PSC market now plays a crucial role in maintaining order in international relations. Additionally, an institutional-legal method is employed to examine Chinese regulatory solutions in the security sector, particularly the issue of access to firearms. The authors primarily relied on foreign literature, with domestic sources playing a secondary role in their research
