The European Marketplace
The European Economic Area is made up of 31 key European countries with a total population of more than 500 million and and average GDP of more than USD 40,000 per capita.
The 31 countries are organized into a free market where goods, services, capital and employees move without restrictions. This creates a healthy economic competition between the 31 countries that strive to attract investors with various financial and other incentives.
Several of the largest Chinese enterprises have already established subsidiaries in one or more of the above jurisdictions and gained unhindered access to this wealthy and consumption oriented marketplace. European countries are open and welcoming to Chinese investors and offer the same business conditions to Chinese owned enterprises as to their own.
