Market Intelligence in China requires constant monitoring and quality assessment. The information available from traditional channels is often too general or inaccurate to be of any real use, but by diversifying information sources, worthwhile, quality material can be found and utilized effectively.

11. Future challenges and events in China (1/2)
• Government change in 2012:
Each generation of Chinese leader has pursued a specific set of goals:
◦ Mao Zedong: Industrialization
◦ Deng Xiaoping: Open up reform and normalization of diplomacy
◦ Jiang Zemin: Establish market economy and enter WTO
◦ Hu Jintao: modernization
◦ ??? : Rebalancing the country’s development, consolidate the country’s international position
and stabilize the economy
www.globalintelligence.com - page 11
12. Future challenges and events in China (2/2)
• Yuan listings and transactions in Hong Kong: first step towards (partial) floatation
So far, investment companies needed :
◦ 400 million USD of proven cash flow for a year minimum
◦ A previous investment of 10 million USD in China
◦ OR, 10 previous succesfull investment to setup businesses in China
◦ Each major transaction was subjected to government approval
Yuan listing in Hong Kong will provide opportunities:
◦ RMB liquidity pool for smaller investors to access RMB denominated securities
◦ Potential RMB futures
◦ Easy access for foreign banks installed in Hong Kong but not in Mainland China
◦ More flexible access rules
www.globalintelligence.com - page 12
14. The Chinese contradiction
Fast paced and ever changing: Unlike Western countries, China can decide and
implement its programs extremely fast and are hard to track:
• World expo: budget CNY400Bn and achieved among other things in the time
frame of 5 years, hundreds of new hotels and more than 8 full subway lines with
over a hundred stations
• High-speed train : 0 km in 2003 and 4800km in 2011 (world’s largest network both
in operation and under construction with another 15000km on the work)
Traditional mindset : At the same time, while the numerous reforms have opened
China to modernity and market economy, decision makers and businessmen alike
have kept a very traditional mentality based on Confucian values. For this reason,
information is not easily publicly disclosed but rather given through a very tight
network of friends (guanxi) within which one needs to be accepted .
www.globalintelligence.com - page 14
15. Intelligence challenges in APAC:
the challenge of data collection
• Official information
While official information has been tremendously improved in the last 15 years in China, many organisms publishing
statistics in China still have a hidden agenda that prevents from fully trusting the figures presented.
• Press
Because of a very strict publication channel involving the government heavily, the press is not always capable of the
same precision and reactivity as one is used in Western countries. As a result, industries relying on fast changes and
immediate information cannot rely on the media for their needs and MI practitioners have to be very careful when
handling these articles
• Associations
Associations are still under development and mostly provide very basic information to this day. They also lack
independence and means to conduct trustworthy MI on their own sector
• Internet
As China has a rather lax policy in terms of disclosure, few information is directly available through websites and many
companies do not really bother with maintaing an updated website.

16. Intelligence challenges in China:
Diversity
• Diverse situations
at a purely geographic level, China is a mix between jungle, tundra, steppes, deltas,... Each having specific
advantages and inconvenients.
• Diverse governments
A global market research on China is always a great challenge as each region has its own government and a high
level of independance . The picture is even more blurred by autonomous entities that can be created at each
administrative level (region, municipality, district, county, town,...)
• Diverse legal systems
On top of the governement mosaic, China is also a mix between its historical and traditional legal system inherited
from the empire and the rise of international standards. Rather than showing a trend towards replacement, both
systems developped on top of each other, making the task of market entrants harder
• Diverse level of development
While China is rising, the whole country is not developping at the same rate. Municipalities like Shanghai, Beijing or
Hong Kong offer a profile similar to many western metropolis but Islands on the coastline are still deserted and the
West in only starting to industrialize and develop itself in an attemp to catch up with the Eastern coast

17. Intelligence challenges in China
Time Factors
• The absence of secondary data requires Cost Factors
increased time (and money) investment in primary
research
• Need for primary research to gain full
understanding
• Telephone interviews have limited success with
some Asian cultures so interviews must often be • Industry experts are part of a very wealthy elite
conducted in person that requires luxurious and thus expensive
treatment.
• Decision makers can be difficult to access
• Real estate prices are growing higher and higher
• Travel to and from interviews can take 1-2 hours and reaching levels similar to major Western cities
each way in many regions or even cities
• Travel costs may be lower in price but become an
• Survey techniqes may require large samples due important cost factor due to the frequence of travel
to demographic segmentation required to cover the whole territory
• More focus groups must be conducted to • Consultants cannot possibly cover the whole
research the entire market, again due to diversity territory and it is thus necessary to hire a whole
team .to hope gathering relevant data
