- The Economist Conferences Presents
China Business and Investment Roundtable
Date: June 24, 2004
Venue: Four Seasons Hotel, Tokyo
Companies lured by a huge and growing domestic market and low manufacturing costs have bet heavily on China being their future source for
growth and profits. Yet for many firms, making money in China has proved elusive. Accelerated inflation, exchange rate fluctuations,
intellectual property rights, adverse repatriation laws, and difficulties in management operations have all combined to strike a note of
caution for those thinking about entering the Chinese market. For those with operations already in China, it has forced a re-think of
strategy going forward.
Keying into these and other crucial developments, this Roundtable will bring together corporate leaders from multinational, Chinese and
Japanese firms to debate the most pressing issues facing China and its business environment.
