Doing Business in China 2020 | Foreword

Foreword

John Hung Chairman Deloitte Global Chinese Services Group johnhung@.cn

The Doing Business in China 2020 handbook comes at an important moment for foreign investors. In the wake of a pandemic and rising geo-political tensions, the global trade environment has changed and the world markets are in an unprecedented period of uncertainty. In response, multinationals have to think differently about how and where they do business. As we move towards a post-pandemic world, companies in search of growth or diversification need to adapt. They need to look beyond traditional ways of doing business and focus their sights on emerging opportunities in the new normal. In this context, China has become more important than ever.

Since 2003, Deloitte's Global Chinese Services Group (GCSG) has been advising Chinese companies on expanding their global presence and multinational companies on operating in China. We believe the uncertainties of today represent a moment of real opportunity. For many, China is seen as an unconventional and complex market. The prospect of doing business here could be daunting even before the pandemic. Certainly it poses great challenges in the current climate, but as Beijing further lifts restrictions on foreign investment to stimulate economic activity, many foreign investors are well-placed to benefit from a market where new opportunities continue to emerge in a range of different sectors. China's growth playbook, the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025), also targets a greater opening up and improved business environment for foreign investors.

Doing Business in China 2020 | Foreword

There is great potential for companies with the right support in place. This is where the Doing Business in China has such an invaluable role to play. You will find in this updated version a wealth of the latest market information and practical advice produced by Deloitte's subject matter experts across different industries and sectors. The handbook highlights major growth drivers for China's economic transformation and examines newly introduced policies leading to a foreign capital?friendly business environment. It also dives into some of the China hot topics with an emphasis on retail, mobility, smart city and FinTech. Last but not least, it explores the different investment location offers including regional free trade zones, economic zones, and the Greater Bay Area for newcomers as well as those looking to expand their existing presence. This handbook provides an excellent reference for anyone considering a China market entry strategy, and also for multinationals as they expand their operations within China. I hope you will find it useful. I wish you all the best as you connect with exciting new opportunities in the new norm.
