The importance of doing business in China starts with a population of more than 1.3 billion people. China is the fourth largest economy, the second largest purchasing power in the world and Australia's number one exporter in an economy growing faster than any other country.  

China is one of the first countries of human civilisations filled with a history of Dynasty rule, rich in culture, religious belief, military sophistication, and intellectual might. Controling one of the largest geographic areas consisting of mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and the surrounding islands. 

Due to China's well-known low cost labour force, it is often perceived to be a manufacturing and infrastructure hub.  But due to decisions for the benefit of the Chinese to open its markets to western countries some years ago and now in more recent times during these difficult and challenging economic times, China is investing billions upon billions in each of those same western countries with emphasis in Australian, USA and the UK.

What is not commonly known, is how industrious China is, as the benefactor of commonly known products. Practical inventions, such as the compass, gunpowder, toilet paper, matches, parachutes, scissors, writing, the wheelbarrow, paper, printing and the umbrella are among many, many other inventions still in everyday use and a necessity across the world today.

Throughout this vast country and within the provinces of China, the Chinese speak different languages and depending which group individuals are from, a variety of dialects are spoken.  However, two languages are most commonly used, with Mandarin being the prominent language as the official national standard and Cantonese being the other spoken language.

The Chinese prefer to do business with companies committed to understanding the Chinese way of business; relationships, respect and culture.  China is a highly complex society, business and legalities are even more encumbersome which can seem illogical at times, but normal with the Chinese having long-term views.  They place enormous weight in the belief of the relationship with the people they ultimately conduct business with to develop the required trust levels and understanding which they believe provides for better working realtionships.
