Ten Tips for Selling B2B in China
As the world economy struggles to recover, China continues grow due to strategic infrastructure investments by the Chinese government. Companies with products or technologies that support the government's agenda may have major opportunities. But, selling in China is filled with challenges and expert guidance is advisable. As a beginning, we offer ten key point (tips) for your consideration.

CHINA FRANCHISE UPDATE
China is the worlds most populace country and emerging as one of the largest consumer markets in the world, soon to led by only the United States. China's increasing middle class has a desire and appetite for western brands and products. A strong component of this dynamic are the products and services provided by U.S. franchisors. The challenge is to match the appeal of foreign franchise brands with the demand of the Chinese consumer. Recent actions by the Chinese Government have raised the price of admission for foreign franchisors.

Deflation and the Dollar, Round 2?

This paper intends to provide an assessment, based on fractional information, of China’s economic involvement in Africa and to identify the forces shaping burgeoning China-Africa economic relations.

IV. C. Private Contractors and Builders: THE ROLE OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR
Private Chinese companies compete actively for construction contracts in Africa. When Chinese companies first entered the market, they tended to be large and state-owned (e.g., China Overseas Engineering Corporation, China Roads and Bridges Corporation, China Railway Construction Corporation, and Harbin Power Corporation).

IV. B. Private Investors: THE ROLE OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR
While the deals of Chinese state-owned oil companies such as CNPC, CNOOC, and SINOPEC in Angola, Equatorial Guinea, Nigeria, and Sudan caught headlines, millions of U.S. dollars were being invested by Chinese private enterprises in Africa with little fanfare (Box 1). These investments are not confined to textiles and mining. They cover a variety of services from agriculture to processing and manufacturing.

III. C. Commercial Policies: THE ROLE OF CHINA’S PUBLIC SECTOR
Market access and trade policy are important in fostering China-Africa trade. The Chinese government in January 2005 implemented the Special Preferential Tariff Treatment (SPTT), which removes the tariff from some 190 items exported to China from 25 of the least developed countries in Africa.

China commits to raising outsourcing profile
India may still be the dominant country when it comes to offshore outsourcing, but that situation could change in the coming years as China makes a bid to challenge its rival.

Now, the country has announced further policies designed to boost the sector. On Wednesday, the Chinese government said it would increase the financial incentives given to companies working within the outsourcing industry, particularly within the 20 hub cities.
