|
Introduction After
the US and Japan, China is the largest economy of the world (measured in
gross domestic product) and passed Germany. In 2010, China will probably
pass Japan and will be than the second largest economy. In 2015-2020 one
expects that China will pass the US. Than the gap between the American and
Chinese economy, 35% of the American economy (2009), will be closed. The
IMF expects for whole 2010 a Chinese economy growth rate of 10,5% and for
2011 a growth rate of 9,5% (Oct. 2010 estimate). China is the fastest
growing economy of the world and that remains for the coming years!

China is the `place to be, not only with regard to
production, but also to market. Large Dutch companies, in order of
number of people employed in China are TNT, Philips, NXP, Akzo Nobel,
ING, Unilever, Fortis, DSM, Shell, Numico and Aegon. The top 11 Dutch
companies have each 1,500 or more employees in China. A large number of
small and middle class Dutch companies have already followed this
example. Only in Shanghai and surroundings approximately 700 Dutch
companies have founded. Still a larger number of Dutch companies work
with Chinese distributors. A large number of Dutch trade missions leaves
annually for China and other countries.

There are not only success stories; several Dutch
companies have also left from China, for example Ahold. There are
several Dutch companies which make still no profit in China and have
wait long. There are also Dutch companies which (large) have problems
with others partners and governments.
