  • The problematic particles, called fine particulate matter (PM2.5), are 2.5 micrometers or less in diameter, about a tenth the fraction of human hair. These small particles can get past the body’s normal defenses and penetrate deep into the lungs.
  • In many heavily urbanized areas, such as eastern China and northern India, power plants and factories that burn coal lack filters and produce a steady stream of sulfate and soot particles. Motor vehicle exhaust also creates significant amounts of nitrates and other particles. Both agricultural burning and diesel engines yield dark sooty particles scientists call black carbon.

    No matter how big the size of our economy, when divided by 1.3 billion, it becomes very, very small; conversely, no matter how small a problem is, when multiplied by 1.3 billion, it becomes very, very big. This is the reality of China. p.5

  • Having a middle manager deal with a China project on a full-time basis and having his destiny interwoven with the China project (i.e. no China project = no job) may mean the deal will proceed regardless of whether it makes sense or not.
  • Having an export manager deal with a China project on a part-time basis will mean that the project may have a lower priority than it deserves

  • If you require your China operations to directly buy and sell, have its own import/export license, and legitimately trade in China – you will need to change your current RO structure to that of a foreign invested commercial enterprise (FICE) or wholly foreign owned enterprise (WFOE)
  • 2. ROs are now more expensive to operate than a FICE or WFOE
  • foreign invested commercial enterprises (FICE) These are typically used for the following business activities: • Import-export and distribution • Retailing: selling goods and related services to individuals from a fixed location, in addition to TV, telephone, mail order, internet and vending machines, • Wholesaling: selling goods and related services to companies and industry, trade or other organizations • Agencies, brokerages: representative transactions on the basis of provisions • Franchising Use of wholly foreign owned enterprises (WFOE) in the services industry • Consulting, other professional services • Quality control, after sales services, product design, technical support, sampling (although minimum amount permitted)
  • WFOEs may also be used for manufacturing.
  • the establishment of both a FICE and a WFOE are rather more complex than an RO
  • The structuring and application of the new FICE/WFOE can be combined at the same time as the RO closure.
  • Juha Lassila on 25 Dec 10
     
    Hmmm... If FICE/WFOE are more complex to setup then what about FIPs - Foreign Invested Partnersips?
