Given China's expansive attitude to industrial espionage (all foreign companies are fair game), if I were in charge of security for a large multinational, what's my security policy going to be for my employees who travel to China for meetings? Does this change anything? or is behaviour like this from China or indeed anyone else, already priced in?

Others can chime in, but I believe that most serious companies doing business with China have a burner-device policy for employees travelling to China.

Your devices will all be hacked with industrial espionage malware, and just in case you don't have anything on those devices, you will be given devices as "gifts"—like flash drives and WiFi-equipped smart home devices--that will exploit any devices you didn't bring with you.

INAE, but I believe the usual policy is to accept the gifts but discard them at the first opportunity.

The company I work for (small on the world scale, but reasonably big in my country) forbids our standard issue laptops from going, instead giving us special travel laptops. These are blocked from the corporate wifi and do not have any VPN connection back to the corporate network. We do all email through webmail. We hand them back upon returning and they get wiped with a fresh install of the OS.
