• Federal and Provincial China Business Facilitation (Part 1) - Editor, 19 November 2007

Hebei is a special gem in the garland of China business achievements! The country needs no introduction for remarkable economic transformation. There is no recorded history to match the incredible rise of China business during the last 2 decades. There is a popular conception that parts of the mainland adjoining Hong Kong and the disputed territory of Taiwan are foci of concerted job and wealth creation. Such opinions are not untrue, but they tend to hide some amazing feats by provincial governments in other parts of China. Hebei is a clear example of a region of the country with matchless China business development, which often does not get the international spotlights it deserves.

Federal and Provincial China Business Facilitation (Part 1)

Lessons from the Hebei Experience with China Business

The first world takes developed infrastructure for granted. Business interests and people at large in poor countries on the other hand, learn to live without electricity, roads, and many of the other forms of social securities that they deserve. Politicians are not known for accepting their liabilities in this respect, and tend to pass the proverbial buck. Many areas which were far ahead of Hebei not so long ago, have fallen way behind now. The sea ports, airport, highways, and rail network of Hebei leave nothing to be desired. Hebei not only meets its own irrigation requirements, but supplies the essential commodity to Beijing as well! Everyone, from the wealthiest to those without the means to look after their families, can expect meaningful support in Hebei.

• Profitable China Business Tears (Part 1) - Editor, 12 November 2007

It may seem incredible, but tears can mean profitable China business! The tears should not be from human eyes, but from the supple stems of rubber trees. The latter can yield valuable rubber from the age of 6 to well over 60. Modern technology can develop vegetative matter with superior sap properties, and regular re-planting is integral to high yielding rubber plantations in any case.

Profitable China Business Tears (Part 1)

The China business experience with rubber has not been good. The country has been able to import supplies from other rubber cultivating countries such as Malaysia at prices below those quoted by its own state farms! Secondly, rubber production and manufacture of products based on it are inherently hazardous. China business has suffered much opprobrium because of its repeated failures to meet international standards in this respect. Clearly, fresh initiatives to establish new China business related to rubber require fresh perspectives.
