During
the last two decades of economic and social reform, and the
opening up of the country to the outside world, China's economy
has sustained a rapid growth, with an average annual rate
of 9.8%, 6.5 percentage points higher than that of the world.
China's gross domestic product (GDP), which came to only RMB
362.41 billion yuan in 1978, amounted to 7955.3 billion yuan
in 1999, a 20-fold increase. Now China ranks No.7 in the world
in terms of total supply, and No.1 in terms of economic growth
rate and demand.
To
encourage the stimulation of economic growth a number of special
measures were taken in China. These included free-trade zones,
economic and technological development zones, and in particular
a large number of high-tech development zones. Let UK-China
Business Links check out for you how preferential policies
in these areas may help your business.
