Growth Market China

China's borders are open. The third-largest national economy in the world has paved the way to a market with much backlog demand and tremendous possibilities.

China drives growth in the eastern Asian region and offers successful long-term economic prospects as the 'Gate to the East' – for global enterprises as well as for international medium-sized businesses.

The liberalisation of the Chinese economy is an important cornerstone of China's domestic economic policy. The development of special zones such as Shanghai/Pudong plays a leading role in the opening of the market.

High sums of domestic and foreign investment capital strengthen the positive development and ensure that China is the growth market of the future. At the center of it all is Shanghai. Shanghai numbers among the Chinese cities whose cityscape has changed the most dramatically within the last few years. Today, it is the trade, financial and industrial centre of China.
