Bodyguard services in Beijing
The demand for bodyguard services in Beijing is high. Since the Chinese economy has been booming, people have started earning more money. So much money, in fact, that people have become wealthy. Beijing is the city with the largest number of billionaires. According to BBC News, every 17 hours, another Beijing citizen becomes a billionaire.
Booming Chinese economy boosts international relations, but also threats
The number of millionaires and billionaires in China has never been so high before. Industries such as e-commerce, packaging, technology, production, and food bring out the most clever entrepreneurs. All these businesses also imply diplomacy, promotion, and collaboration with international relations. Alternatively, the Chinese with a dollar to spend have found their way around the world to spend their holiday with family and friends.
Wealth comes with a price, which can vary from positive effects such as fame to adverse impacts such as threats like theft, burglary, being kidnapped, blackmailed, or assaulted. There have been several reports of attacks, kidnaps, and assaults on (ultra) high-net-worth individuals in China.
Safety in Beijing thanks to specialized bodyguards
The growth of UHNWIs in Beijing increases the demand for covert personal protection and bodyguards. Yet, the profession of a bodyguard is relatively new to the country. In the beginning, there was no official description of the profession, nor were there any regulations. However, since 2010, the Beijing security law and national laws have incorporated the profession in its legislation, allowing firms to establish a protection agency and train their staff accordingly. The number of agencies increases every year, but often an international operating agency is consulted.
Female bodyguards are very popular with female Chinese clients as they feel much more comfortable with a woman as their protector than a man. Until now, female bodyguards are very scarce.
Another discernible trend is specialized services. These services include a specialized security driver, residential security, family protection and asset protection. We discern the security of assets such as superyachts, pieces of art, cars, horses, and jewelry.
