Obstacles Remain Outside the Intex doors, similar action was taking place. Several sources said Nelco has plans to build a plant in Wuxi, about two hours from Shanghai. Some obstacles remain. The vast number of companies there puts added pressure on the Chinese government to control exports and the exchange of the national currency to U.S. dollars or other monies. Most use foreign trade companies that have those licenses and serve as middlemen.
Taiwanese firms have their share of obstacles, too.

As for the CPCA, the show goes on.
