How China Will Change Your Business Benjamin Allen Brian Henshaw

China's economy is much larger than the official numbers show. China only reported 1.4 trillion, really 6.6 trillion China has a huge underground economy China suppresses their dollar by almost 40%

The growth of China's economy has no equal in modern history. Annual growth of 9.5% 30 year run of this, economy has doubled three times

China is winning the global competition for investment capital. The world keeps feeding the Chinese capital 1/3 of industrial production is ran off of foreign investments China had 53 billion an investments, US only 40 billion (2003)

China can be a bully. China can put shut down businesses Ex: shut down 35,000 furniture in the U.S. now the Chinese make 40%

China's economy is an entrepreneurial economy. One sock company opens, 8,000 follow China can cut U.S. prices by more than half

The most daunting thing about China is not its ability to make cheap consumer goods. They are climbing the latter in technology They are spending more on technology research Same research, 60% of the price that the Americans charge

China is closing the research and development gap -- fast. spent 60 billion on research and development China’s researchers make only 1/10th of the salary of a American 325,000 engineers in 2003

China now sets the global benchmark for prices. Lowest price is now called the China price Companies around the world must match their price In the US, products fell in every category that China was the top exporter

China's growth is making raw materials more expensive. Copper prices jumped 37% last year, aluminum and zinc both rose about 25%, and oil was up 33%. China is buying large amounts of each of these products

No company has embraced China's potential more vigorously than Wal-Mart. 50%-85% of merchandise comes from China Bought 15 billion worth of goods from China 80% of suppliers come from China

There are hidden costs associated with doing business in China. Get ready for copy businesses, transfer of technology Motorola, control’s less than 55% of market, even though they invented handsets an China

Piracy is a problem. China police fails to police intellectual property They are getting 100’s of billions of dollars from this

China's heavy buying of U.S. debt has lowered the cost of money in the U.S. So they let the US dollar go far in China’s economy, pushing US to buy more, than buy our debt with the continual West investment

Americans and Chinese have become reliant on each other's most controversial habits. China needs the low price currency to keep the exports going China earns 1/14th of an American, and the reason is they cannot buy abroad

The Bottom Line… China pegs it’s currency at a certain level in order to keep it’s economic growth at double digit figures. A weak Yuan makes China’s exports very attractive to US consumers. Americans go into debt. China then buys our debt. How long can this cycle continue.

Questions How long will China continue to grow it’s economy at double digit figures? How can the U.S. compete for raw materials in the future? How can the US and it’s allies police China’s lack of belligerent lack of piracy laws?
