million mobile customers, totalling 1.1 billion telephone users
• China has the world’s largest mobile phone population

Internet population will be 718 million by 2013, accounting for 52.7% of
the total population.

(2010) to nearly 50%.
• Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Wikipedia are blocked in China under the
country's policy of Internet censorship.
22. Infrastructure
Some economic experts believe that the development
gap between China and other emerging economies such
as Brazil, Argentina and India can be attributed to a large
extent to China's early focus on ambitious infrastructure.
While China invested roughly 9% of its GDP on
infrastructure in the 1990s and 2000s, most emerging
economies invested only 2% to 5% of their GDP. This
considerable spending gap allowed the Chinese economy
to grow at near optimal conditions while many South
American economies suffered from various development
bottlenecks (poor transportation networks, aging power
grids, mediocre schools, etc.)

29. Recommendations for MNE’s
Risk associated with Intellectual Property :
Potential risk is very high & it is prescribed to be cautious while taking
your best technology to China.
Build relationships:
The Chinese believes that prospective business partners should build
a relationship and, if successful, commercial transactions will follow.
Finding the right partners:
Companies analyze how do change the product so that it is better
suited for manufacturing in China.
Cultivate guanxi :
The logical development of close relationships is the Chinese concept
of guanxi, pronounced gwan shee. In a highly centralized,
bureaucratic state the use of personal contacts is the only way to get
things done
30. Recommendations for Chinese Government
Streamlining Logistics :
China’s size make it difficult to distribute products & there is a
possibility of piracy when shipping goods.
Mitigating disparity between rural & urban areas :
China has now attained some of the deepest disparities between
rural and urban areas in the world, with urban per capita incomes
almost three times those of rural areas.
Reforms in political system :
After the introduction of market system, different social layers caused
by income differentials have been created. The vital thing is how can
a single party represent the interests of all those, and also to keep a
balance between the different interests groups
