The growing Chinese economy offers outstanding business opportunities to companies from different sectors, which can also benefit from the low production costs that have turned China into the "world's factory".
China
China is a country with a stable political system that is going through a rapid openness, liberalization and development process. This process is boosting the growth of the Chinese economy (China's GDP is forecasted to surpass that of France in 2005, and it is likely to outstrip Japan in 2050 to become the world second largest economic power) offering interesting commercial opportunities to companies of different sectors.
In addition, the intense public investment initiative started by the Chinese government, together with the 2008 Olympic Games and the Expo Shanghai in 2010, will create additional opportunities for Spanish companies.
However, distance, language and cultural barriers make it difficult, risky, and costly for a company to enter the Chinese market without the specialized help that a company such as mercury provides.
