-
Rising costs of sourcing from China

Does China still make sense, and if so, for whom?
-
Selling to the Chinese domestic market

Establishing a JV or wholly-owned subsidiary in China
China’s impact today on all Americans is the greatest it has been in our lifetimes. It is of key strategic importance to US companies as a procurement source, as a manufacturing base and increasingly as a market for US goods and services. Its cheap labor has allowed us to buy more for less, but its voracious appetite for raw materials has contributed to the inflation that all of us are seeing at the checkout counter.
After a massive ‘Coming Out Party’, how will China be different? To what extent is it insulated against the economic slowdown in the developed world? How should we position ourselves to take full advantage of China’s double-digit growth, and its 1.3 billion consumers?
