Chinese Business Handbook is an extensive English-language business reference work devoted to China and its rapidly developing commercial and economic environment. Published in 2004, during a period of exceptionally strong Chinese economic expansion and increasing integration into international trade, the handbook provides information intended for companies, investors and professionals interested in developing commercial activities in the Chinese market. The volume covers aspects of China's economy, industry, trade and investment environment and provides practical reference material relating to important business sectors and commercial opportunities. Attention is given to the country's growing role in international trade, the development of Chinese industry and infrastructure, and the opportunities and challenges facing foreign companies operating in or trading with China. As a business handbook, the publication combines economic and sector information with practical material useful for identifying organisations, companies and potential commercial contacts. With 375 illustrated pages, the volume also provides a detailed contemporary snapshot of China's business environment shortly after the country's accession to the World Trade Organization and at a formative stage in its emergence as one of the world's major economic powers. Today the handbook is additionally of interest as a historical business reference documenting international perceptions of the Chinese economy and market in the early twenty-first century.
