1644 Qing (or Manchu) Dynasty begins; Empire run by a Confucian bureaucracy

Infrastructure

Some economic experts believe that the development gap between China and other emerging economies such as Brazil, Argentina and India can be attributed to a large extent to China's early focus on ambitious infrastructure. While China invested roughly 9% of its GDP on infrastructure in the 1990s and 2000s, most emerging economies invested only 2% to 5% of their GDP. This considerable spending gap allowed the Chinese economy to grow at near optimal conditions while many South American economies suffered from various development bottlenecks (poor transportation networks, aging power grids, mediocre schools, etc.)

SWOT analysis of China Strengths

Inexpensive labor Educated workforce and scale Plenty of natural resources Accelerated economic growth

Weakness

Inequality in rural & urban areas Surplus labor leads to unemployment Corruption in developing country Political risk

Opportunities

Streamlining government processes Ease of regulations Cooperation with India More mergers & strategic alliances

Threats

Chinese government could hurt growth High dependence on trade Aging population Allegations of currency manipulation

Porter's Diamond for ChinaFirm, Strategy, Structure, Rivalry

Well established infrastructure, power, technological advancement

Factor Conditions Location, skilled human resource, natural resources

Demand for better quality products in large quantity

Recommendations for MNE’s

Risk associated with Intellectual Property : Potential risk is very high & it is prescribed to be cautious while taking

your best technology to China. Build relationships: The Chinese believes that prospective business partners should build

a relationship and, if successful, commercial transactions will follow. Finding the right partners: Companies analyze how do change the product so that it is better

suited for manufacturing in China. Cultivate guanxi : The logical development of close relationships is the Chinese concept

of guanxi, pronounced gwan shee. In a highly centralized, bureaucratic state the use of personal contacts is the only way to get things done

Recommendations for Chinese Government

Streamlining Logistics : China’s size make it difficult to distribute products & there is a

possibility of piracy when shipping goods.

Mitigating disparity between rural & urban areas : China has now attained some of the deepest disparities between

rural and urban areas in the world, with urban per capita incomes almost three times those of rural areas.

Reforms in political system : After the introduction of market system, different social layers caused

by income differentials have been created. The vital thing is how can a single party represent the interests of all those, and also to keep a balance between the different interests groups
