The Chinese Export Market

Everyone is talking about China, the potential there is just huge.

Take a look at their exports:
China exported $132.5 billion to the United States alone (and imported $39.8 billion - what a surplus!).

They export a wide range of goods - electrical machinery, apparel, toys and games, footwear,
furniture, minerals, fuel.  And you can see this reflected on our portal, lots of members based in China offering a variety of goods.

What kind of goods should you be selling to our Chinese members? -
Iron and steel, mineral fuel and ore, power generation equipment, optical and medical equipment, man-made filaments, vehicles and vehicle parts.

Whilst we’re on the topic of China, here’s an interesting report that might make you re-think
your strategy towards that country:
