Opportunity for Importers


It is said that we should turn somebodys strength into our opportunity. Here I have to highlight the Chinese strengths. China's main strength in the world's economy is its amazing amount of cheap labour-- because of its massive population. For years to come China will be able to maintain the current low prices in the world marketplace. Though China seems like its growing and modernizing quickly, it still has about 800 million people in the countryside that are unknowingly waiting to be exploited in the "low cost manufacturing" niche that China is so good at. A niche that the world market will forever have a great demand for. Next, the incentives and concession they get from Chinese government such as tax concession ,Industry policy concession, Inspection and Quarantine Policy Concessions, Land and Resources Concessions, Financial Support and Incentives, Technological Policy Support, Also china has already developed its Infrastructure, Economic and Social Development, Market Awareness, and investment in Hi-Tech Industries. Of course, Natural Resources is god given gift to them. Opportunity is in importers approach like how effective they are to convert Chinas Strengths.


Chinas Shortcomings

English Language! It was the one I found extremely difficult to manage with Chinese people. But the younger generations are realising the need of English to communicate effectively. But I am sure that the Chinese will overcome this shortcoming in the days to come by either learning English or who knows maybe by producing a hi-fi English to Chinese convertor gadget. They are hardworking, intelligent people, keen to study English.
