China as a market, a manufacturing partner or a threat? This Metra Martech 100 page briefing provides serious input to your decision on which way to jump. The briefing provides a topical and thought provoking collation on the current opportunity, which is massive - but also on its downside.

The industrial West’s loss of leadership in some manufacturing industries has been gathering momentum since the 1990s. The difference today is the gigantic scale of the recipient countries, China and to a lesser extent India. They will soon dominate world manufacturing production, and could then dominate technological development. This briefing is woven around quotes from Confucius, Chairman Mao, The MD of Toyota, UK industry experts such as Sir George Cox, Sir Digby Jones, as well as notable authorities on China.
