The Keys to Effective China Trade Operations

China’s dominance as the world’s top country for sourcing hasn’t swayed under the pressures that have been the topic of discussion in the boardroom, on the campaign trail, around the dining room table, or during trade negotiations in nearly every country around the world.

China has maintained its place as the foremost manufacturing hub and continues to gain momentum as the premier outsourcing destination for low-cost and fast manufacturing.

China’s Continuing Economic Growth
Export growth has been a major component supporting China’s rapid economic expansion. From 2000 to 2012, China’s global merchandise exports grew by 703 percent, and its merchandise imports grew by 656 percent.

In the last 2 years, exports have slowed down – mainly because of overall reductions in global demand – but China’s proportion of global exports rose to 13.8 percent in 2015 from 12.3 percent in 2014.
