This brand-new guide is the definitive guide to the economy of Beijing and northeast China, a region that is rapidly becoming an attractive option for foreign investors. It features articles, case studies, regional intelligence and data from leading international companies such as Motorola (telecoms); ING (insurance); ConocoPhillips (oil) ; BASF (chemicals) ; Bayer and Estée Lauder (corporate social responsibility) ; Standard Chartered and RZB (banking) ; Navigant (due diligence) ; Honeywell and Michelin (manufacturing) ; Dezan Shira & Associates (China tax and accounting) ; Clifford Chance (securities reform) ; Rouse & Co (IPR) ; Halcrows (water treatment) ; ERM (environmental due diligence) ; Octopus (tourism) ; Kimberly Clark (health care and hygiene) ; BOC (gas) ; Michelin (manufacturing) ; Jones Lang LaSalle, Colliers and Sinolink (property) ; and China Care and Beijing United Family Hospitals (health care). It also has comment on central government policies, the 2008 Olympics, north-eastern revitalisation, and intelligence for the international business person wanting detailed information about the politics and dynamics of China’s capital city and the re-awakening of industry in its surrounding provinces. The book also includes overviews of Beijing, Tianjin, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Hebei, and Shandong, and city-by-city analysis of the northeast China cities of Beijing, Tianjin, Shenyang, Dalian, Changchun, Harbin, Qingdao and Yantai. In addition, there are extensive comments from experienced China hands, advice on how to set up operations, the tax and logistical implications and pointers to future trends and developments. This book, much anticipated, is the most comprehensive guide thus far available for Beijing and the region, the impact of foreign investment in the region, and the economic and political triggers driving development.
