Beautiful Beijing expanding
to cover whole China
Chinese investment environment is changing. China
and Chinese companies will invest more and more
foreign companies and abroad. What are the benefits
of Chinese capital when you are looking for China
markets? How about opportunities to get investments?
2 Strategy
“Let’s admit, we do not have one success concept
for China. Instead, we should follow, see and describe China honestly; its opportunities, traps, barriers…
We should draw a kaleidoscopic picture, without
mystifying or falling into exotics. We want to see the
processes and strategies behind the phenomena. If we
can do that, we are much better prepared to catch the
opportunities.” Professor Matti Nojonen
