Living Conditions: There is a wide variation in the living conditions in various Chinese business regions. These conditions can affect the ability to attract local Chinese talent as well as expatriate resources. Availability of schools, entertainment, shopping, and transportation infrastructure should be considered when selecting a Chinese manufacturing location.
Infrastructure: It is well known that China’s rapid economic expansion has strained local infrastructure.
