Global Transitions: Demystifying China's New Path
Unprecedented in its rapid pace of development, China¡¯s steps forward have generated both excitement and concern amongst investors, speculators, and policy makers. Having successfully gained access through the ¡°Open Door¡± and assessed the wealth of opportunities of China¡¯s untapped markets, focus has shifted from entrance to stability as foreign corporations big and small have established themselves as key market players. Global business pioneers are now facing the challenges of transforming China¡¯s development into sustainable long-term growth in the upcoming decades.
