The Committee's report considers the potential for trade opportunities with China and Taiwan in the light of their accession to the World Trade Organization in December 2001. Although both countries have been challenging markets to penetrate, WTO accession has produced new scope for British companies that are aware of the potential difficulties and remain alert to the constantly changing regulatory and economic situation, particularly in mainland China. Competition exists with companies in many other countries which are also eager to exploit the potential business opportunities arising. The report discusses trade developments in the Chinese market and present UK trade links; common difficulties in trading with China; the potential of Hong Kong and Taiwan; support services for British business; key sectors for trading opportunities; inward investment; and the effects of WTO accession. The Committee concludes that mainland China remains a difficult market, and in line with the UK Government, not one they would encourage inexperienced British companies to enter. However, some British and foreign countries are already successfully trading in and with China, and there is no reason why other British companies should not do so too.
