##### Overview

China acceded to the WTO four years ago and is currently in the process
of completing a seven-year transition. Accession to the WTO symbolizes
China's ongoing integration into the world economy. There is no doubt
that China's transition from central planning to market-based regulatory
principles offers significant improvements in market access for many
American exporters. However, from an American supplier's perspective,
the transition process is incremental at best and not without bumps in
the road.

Meanwhile, China\'s macro economy continues to be extremely healthy.
According to China's National Bureau of Statistics, China's economy
increased by 9.5 percent in 2004. Retail sales rose 14 percent last year
and are expected to continue to rise rapidly in 2005 as a result of
increased consumer credit. Foreign currency reserves exceeded USD 600
billion by yearend, up 52 percent from yearend 2003. After rising
sharply earlier in the year, inflation declined to a 3.9 percent rate at
year's end. In 2004, the government fiscal deficit declined. Total trade
resulted in a small surplus. Fixed asset investment rose rapidly (25
percent) to reach USD 846 billion (slightly more than 50 percent of
GDP). China attracted USD 60.6 billion in foreign direct investment --
mostly in manufacturing or real estate -- ranking second only to the
United States.

Despite the high level of interest, China remains a developing market,
albeit one with vast potential. Spread over a population of 1.3 billion,
China's 1.65 trillion USD economy does not represent a large amount of
disposable income for each person. By the end of 2004, the Chinese
government reported that the annual rural per capita net income was USD
355 and urban per capita disposable income was USD 1,140 at current
exchange rates.

Rapid economic growth has fueled strong growth in imports. According to
the National Bureau of Statistics, the total value of imports increased
to USD 561.4 billion, up 36 percent. China is now the world's third
largest trading nation behind the United States and Germany.

According to U.S. Customs statistics from January to November 2004,
China-U.S. trade reached a historical high of USD 210.7 billion during
the first 11 months of 2004. The U.S. imported USD 179.2 billion of
goods to the United States, up 29 percent. China is our second largest
supplier, after Canada. The U.S. exported 31.5 billion to China during
the same period, up 25 percent from the year before. China has become
our 5^th^ largest export market. As a result of these trends, the
bilateral trade deficit with China increased 29 percent to USD 147.7
billion in the first 11 months of the year.

##### Machine Tool Market in China

# 

# The dramatic growth and development in China's manufacturing sectors over the past decade has fuelled the country's market for sophisticated machine tools. Currently the world's largest consumer and importer of machine tools, China is a growth market for many U.S. manufacturers of technologically advanced machinery. Some of the leading sectors driving machine tool consumption include automotive, aviation/aerospace, shipbuilding, and information technology related manufacturing.

China is currently the world's largest consumer and importer of machine
tools. In 2004, China's consumption of imported machine tools reached
more than \$5.9 billion, with US imports constituting \$482.9 million or
8% of the total. Japan (33%), Taiwan (21%), and Germany (15%) account
for a substantial portion of China's machine tool imports. According to
some estimates, nearly one-half of China's machine tool market is
comprised of imports.

The growth in machinery exports to China over the past several years is
driven by a number of factors:

-   Demand for superior quality and precision technology not available
    in China.

-   Expansion of China's manufacturing capacity and increased
    competition among domestic manufacturers for quality output.

-   Influx of foreign invested manufacturing facilities requiring
    world-class machinery.

-   WTO mandated tariff reductions.

![](media/image2.wmf)

In order to deal with the increased market opportunities and competition
resulting from entry into the WTO, China has placed high emphasis on
upgrading its conventional industries with more advanced high-tech
machinery and equipment.  China is also moving rapidly to restructure
the state-owned, exclusively invested and private enterprises.  The two
initiatives, along with the start-up of numerous major national
projects, are stimulating rapid growth in the demand for machine tool
and tooling products in China.  This provides market opportunities for
machine tool builders, as China is expected to import advanced equipment
and technology valued in the tens of billions of US dollars.  The budget
for the reconstitution of the conventional industries into modern,
competitive companies will total in the tens of billions of US dollars. 

Some of the major events, projects and other developments in China that
will impact machinery exports are as follows.

# 

# Beijing 2008 Olympics

The City of Beijing is planning to invest more than US\$ 23 billion in
preparation for the Olympic Games in 2008. Much of this money will be
spent on construction projects in the following areas: Olympics
facilities, transportation, telecommunications, and environmental
improvements. Some of the projects are continuations of city
improvements that have been planned for years. Others are entirely new
projects that will now come to fruition since Beijing has been
officially selected to hold the Olympics. Coupled with the Beijing
municipal government promise that bidding on these projects will be open
on an equal basis to both foreign and domestic companies, the 2008 Games
could be a very enticing business opportunity.

**World Expo 2010**

Shanghai recently won its bid to host the World Expo in 2010. Shanghai
plans to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in new urban
infrastructure to prepare for this momentous event.

 

**Automotive**

China's automotive industry has witnessed rapid growth since the country
opened to the outside world and adopted economic reforms. Currently,
domestic motor vehicles have more than a 95 percent market share.

In order to keep costs down, most foreign-invested manufacturers in
China are localizing their supply chain. For the automotive industry,
this has led many first and second tier suppliers to set up operations
in China. Increasingly, foreign-invested manufacturers in China have
been sourcing from local Chinese suppliers. Indeed, these manufacturers
are sourcing not only for the domestic Chinese market but also for
export markets. Therefore the demand is not only for price competitive
components but also for world-class quality production.

Currently in the Shanghai area, foreign invested manufacturers such as
auto and other industrial OEMs are actively nurturing local suppliers to
help get them up to specification so they can bring costs down.

The demand by foreign and high-end Chinese automotive producers for
locally manufactured, high-quality components has led to increased
acquisition of advanced manufacturing technologies throughout the supply
chain and across many sectors in China. These foreign and Chinese
manufacturers should be the target clients for US exporters of machinery
and industrial equipment. US firms have a reputation for high quality in
the Chinese market. Many Chinese buyers have a favorable opinion of
American suppliers but often comment that US companies do not have the
same aggressive local presence as their Japanese and European
competitors.

There is generally demand among local components manufacturers who are
interested in improving manufacturing technologies in order to move up
the value chain in the following areas:

-   Deep drawn parts, high-precision screw machined parts

-   Motors, engine assemblies

-   Mold makers

-   Extruded body castings

## Energy Sector

China\'s overall energy consumption ranks second in the world. China\'s
growing demand for energy has caused this traditionally off-limits
sector to gradually open up to increasingly larger scale foreign
participation. Reluctance to change has made progress in the oil and gas
sector slow for foreign firms in China, but government encouragement has
produced progress. The best opportunities for foreign participation are
in natural gas infrastructure development and offshore oil exploration
and production. Onshore oil projects are far less attractive due to lack
of access to satisfactory leverage and geological data, and a greater
tendency to source equipment, services and technology domestically.
Offshoot industries with high technology components are in high demand.

The development of China\'s petrochemical industry in the Tenth
Five-year Plan period (2001-05) will focus on increasing the production
of refined oils. Demand for oil products is expected to witness a
sizable increase in the next five years, with total consumption of
gasoline, diesel and kerosene achieving an annual growth rate of 4.3 to
4.6 percent, reaching 136 million to 138 million tons by 2005.
Structural reforms will be carried out in major petroleum and
petrochemical enterprises such as CNPC (China National Petroleum Corp.),
Sinopec and China National Offshore Oil Corporation to sharpen the
industry\'s competitive edge in the world market, while further
opening-up policies will be initiated to attract more foreign
investment. China will try to bring the overall oil refining capacity to
270 million tons, including over 75 million tons of sulfur crude; build
eight to nine oil refining bases, each with a refining capacity of 10
million tons; adjust installations, optimize crude varieties, increase
the output of diesel and naphtha, expand gasoline export, raise the
output of fuel oil, provide more quality raw materials for ethylene
production; and also produce more high grade road asphalt, quality
lubricants and paraffin. In 2003, China gradually opened its gasoline
and diesel market and increase the import of oil products, which have an
import quota of 25.3 million tons (i.e. including 20 million tons quota
for state trade and 5.3 million tons quota for non-state trade).

China now is carrying out several huge oil and gas projects to meet its
growing energy needs. Major projects are being driven by a combination
of political, environmental and market factors. The ongoing Guangdong
LNG Terminal and Supply Project, West to East Gas Project, coal
liquefaction, natural gas exploration, and the Bohai Bay exploration
projects will continue to provide export opportunities for foreign
companies. Good opportunities exist in both upstream and downstream
engineering, project supervision, licensing, equipment, technology,
consulting, marketing and supply sectors.\
 \
Downstream infrastructure development in China centers primarily on
upgrading existing refineries rather than building new ones, due to
current overcapacity. In the late 1990s, the Chinese Government shut
down 110 small refineries, which generally made inferior quality
petroleum products. Sixty two other small refineries owned by provincial
and local governments are also likely to be merged into CNPC and Sinopec
(China Petroleum & Chemical Corp.) in the near future. Another major
issue in the Chinese downstream sector is the lack of adequate refining
capacity suitable for heavier crude oil, which will likely become a
necessity as Chinese imports rise in the mid-term. Several existing
refineries are being upgraded to handle heavier and the more sour grades
of crude oil.

**Transportation Infrastructure Industry**

The Chinese government is in the midst of a massive upgrade of their
existing transportation infrastructure. Until recently, China's economy
was able to continue to grow despite deficiencies in infrastructure
development. This is no longer the case, and the Chinese government
realizes that, in order to keep their economy moving forward, they must
have an efficient system in place to move goods and people across this
9.326 billion sq. km. land mass. According to World Bank statistics,
goods lost due to poor or obsolete transportation infrastructure
amounted to one percent of China\'s GDP as recently as the most current
survey (mid 1990\'s). Logistics accounts for 20 percent of a products
price in China, compared to 10 percent in the US\
\
Passenger rail traffic has priority over freight on the many
single-track rail lines across China, extending trips which should last
a few days to two weeks or more, and limiting investment interests in
all but a few coastal regions. Rail tracks are now being doubled to
alleviate the freight train conflict issues, expressways are being built
to cut down on vehicular travel times, sealed roads are being extended
to new locations, ports are being improved for greater use of China's
waterways, and airports are being improved across the country. All of
these projects bring opportunities to US construction equipment,
engineering, and electronics and safety devices companies, especially
for projects funded by the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, OECF, and
similar multilateral lending agencies that use transparent bidding
procedures.\
\
**Distribution Services**

Foreign companies have been barred from engaging in freight forwarding
unless they form a joint venture with local partners. Many have stayed
away. With China's accession into WTO these and other structural issues
are moving to positions more in line with international standards. These
changes are to be fully compliant with negotiated accession terms within
five years of the accession date.\
\
**Highways**

China's has been rapidly developing its highway system in the past few
years. Investment in highways for 2001 was US\$ 37.66 billion. China
added 36,000km of highways and 3,152km of expressways in 2001 alone. In
adherance to the government's stance on western expansion, Sichuan
province plans to have 1,500 km of expressways built by 2002 and 4,600
by 2020.

**Ports**

China has sixteen major shipping ports with a capacity of over 5 million
tons per year, combined for total country shipping capacity in excess of
1.4 billion tons. The Port of Shanghai is going through a significant
upgrade. The Shanghai Model Port Alliance, is behind many of the upgrade
activities that will make Shanghai a more automated port facility,
minimizing loss of goods and time while helping Customs collect more
accurate tariffs. If the Shanghai project accomplishes its goals, there
is interest in replicating the process in other Chinese ports.

# Suggested Market Entry Strategy

**Do your due diligence and visit China often**.

Continuous communication with contacts, agents, customers, suppliers and
your competition is key to assessing this market. China is not right for
everyone, but you need to be here to make that decision. A number of
companies are here and losing money, because they were lured by less
than rational predictions and over-optimism. Other companies that should
be here are not, because they did not invest the time to research the
market.

**Identify an agent or other partners**.

This is a key step for making sales and setting up distribution and
logistics channels. The first steps should be low-risk. US companies
need someone with Chinese language capabilities, acting as either an
agent or company employee, if they want to sell to Chinese customers.

-   Appointing an agent is a good step. But agents aren't always as
    aggressive as companies would like.

-   Setting up a Rep Office in the market is a logical next step to
    support an existing agent or to identify sales leads. Providing
    after sales service and maintenance and engineering support is a
    challenge. A good agent should have these capabilities.

-   More and more firms are looking into setting up a wholly owned
    foreign enterprise (WOFE) as a manufacturing, trading, service or
    consulting entity to offer additional sales service and after sales
    support.

# Recognize and Handle Challenges.

There are a number of challenges facing manufacturing exporters selling
to China. The US Commercial Service stands ready to assist US firms
where possible to address these problems. US manufacturing exporters in
China commonly face the following issues:

-   Finding good information.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Increased local and foreign competition, especially from Japan,
    Germany and Taiwan.

-   Protecting intellectual property continues to plague foreign
    companies.

-   Shorter project cycle times for big projects .

-   Getting paid.

-   Other transaction costs like travel, negotiation, and shipping,
    letters of credit.

-   Hiring and keeping good staff.

-   Visas to the United States for buyers and technical experts.

-   Export controls.

## 

## Make a commitment to the market

China is a complex and potentially lucrative market for US manufacturing
exporters. The following information is important to keep in mind when
evaluating your company's commitment to successfully selling into the
market.

-   Devote time to developing relationships.

-   Be willing to train your agents and customers in China

-   Have some type of local presence to build credibility.

-   Be open to understanding the cultural, social and economic situation
    of your potential buyers.

## Model marketing plan for Company ABC (machinery exporter)

**Goals:**

1\. Identify strategic channels to market machinery to end-users in
China

2\. Identify a company in China to act as an agent for Company ABC in
the local market

-   Sign an agency agreement with selected candidate (exclusive or
    non-exclusive)

**Basic cooperation model:**

The Chinese company represents Company ABC in China acting as their
agent. Company ABC will assign one person from their company to serve at
the China Account Manager. Likewise, the Chinese company would designate
someone to work with American contact to develop business opportunities.
When an opportunity is in sight, ABC and the Chinese firm would develop
a proposal and bid on the job together, maximizing and complementing the
strengths of each company to be more competitive.

The terms of cooperation would be spelled out in an agency agreement or
contract.

**Phase 3: Find projects and making proposals**

-   Team up with Chinese company to network and begin marketing

-   Develop hot list of clients with whom Company ABC has supplied to in
    the US with emphasis on clients who have operations in China

-   Identify strategic first project and go full-out"

-   Line up all US and Chinese government contacts who could be tapped
    to support/advocate for Dial bid if necessary

**The Association for Manufacturing Technology (AMT)**

AMT has offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou to serve its
membership. In 2004 AMT launched an innovative project with partial
funding from the Department of Commerce. The US Machine Tool Service and
Technology Center, located in Shanghai, contains a showroom for member
companies to display their machines for sales and training purposes, and
to allow Chinese buyers to examine American machinery without having to
obtain a visa and travel to the United States. The facility also
provides storage space for spare parts and office space to member
companies for their support personnel.

This innovative approach is one way in which the Department of Commerce
is cooperating with industry to overcome some of the barriers to
exporting machinery to China.
