Business Environment
China is one of the world's largest economies and a top export destination for Canada. With its large domestic market and globally integrated supply chains, China continues to attract strong interest from foreign investors. As its wages and middle class grow, the government is taking steps towards developing a more service-oriented economy that is less susceptible to shocks in global demand. The country's 'One Belt One Road' initiative plans to boost services along with research and development which will present new opportunities for investment even as its traditional sectors moderate. While China presents many opportunities in a number of sectors, it is important that Canadian exporters and investors conduct the necessary due diligence prior to entering the market in order to effectively navigate the legal, regulatory and bureaucratic obstacles that are present in the business environment.
