When it comes to #China's development in the past 40 years, it is not only the speed and the scope of changes that have stunned the world, but the path to where the country is today has also been a constant source for amazement, as it contradicts the traditional view that only Western democracies are capable of such massive transformations. According to Sabine Stricker-Kellerer, president of the Beijing-based German Foreign Trade Council, when China first opened up, market access for foreign enterprises was still rather limited.

Now, as foreign enterprises can 'more or less come to China freely,' access to the Chinese market does not constitute much of a concern anymore, but rather, the focus has shifted to how to establish a base for #globalization in China. She also pointed to the increased competitiveness of #Chinesecompanies as another notable change. She said that whereas 40 years ago #Europeancompanies in China faced little competition from Chinese domestic companies, now a large number of them, be it state-owned or private ones, have not only flourished domestically but also set their global drive in motion. As a result, foreign companies have to think hard about how to thrive in an increasingly competitive business environment in China.
