De groei van de Economie van de Dienst van China

De sector van de dienst ChinaNu wij neer aan de 2008 Olympische spelen tellen, zijn first-time en niet zo recente bezoekers aan China zonder twijfel wat benieuwd zij zullen zien wanneer zij in de komende maand augustus in Peking landen. Ter voorbereiding van de spelen, zullen wij elke kans te baat nemen om de veranderingen te beschrijven die in China plaatsvinden en het beeld schilderen van hoe het land in een ander jaar zal kijken.

Met de voortdurende economische welvaart van China en de verhoging van rijkdom heeft het voor honderden miljoenen van Chinees, één sector betekend die verandert en snel toegevoegde impuls van de verwachte aanval van bezoekers volgend jaar is de diensten krijgt. China heeft zijn teken gemaakt voor zover een productiekrachtcentrale, maar enkele grootste gebieden van de groei en beste investeringskansen die waarschijnlijk in het verstrekken van een promotie en grotere serie van de diensten aan een meer en meer rijke klasse van Chinese klanten zullen zijn doorgaan.

Bepaalde consument en commerciële diensten zoals de voedseldienst, het onderbrengen, luchtverkvoer, logistiek, distributie, gezondheidszorg en schoonheid zijn basis aan om het even welke economie. Terwijl deze diensten in China in wat vorm een aantal jaren hebben bestaan, wordt de kwaliteit van de dienst die wordt verleend dramatisch bevorderd. Neem luchtverkvoer. In the early 1990s, airports were 1950s vintage, and finding yourself on an old Tupolev plane was not at all unusual on many domestic flights. Today, nearly every major city in China has a modern airport built within the last five years, and China boasts one of the most modern aircraft fleets in the world. In a post-9/11 environment, travel around China is in many ways much easier than in the United States.

In addition to the general upgrading of basic services that is taking place, enterprising companies are now segmenting the market to appeal to different classes of consumers. Haircuts, both women’s and men’s, is a good example. Ten years ago, you could get a haircut for a few yuan at hundreds of shops or streetside barbers in any decent sized city, or you could pay 1,000 yuan in a Western-oriented beauty shop, most likely in one of the city’s five-star hotels. There was nothing in between. Today, a wide range of prices to fit any consumer’s pocketbook can be found in beauty shops scattered across the same cities.

Finally, services previously unheard of in China are now being offered. One simple example is getting a shoeshine. In a country where it has been easier to get a foot massage at 10 at night than a shoeshine at 10 in the morning, I was pleasantly surprised to see a shoeshine stand near my gate at Beijing’s Capitol Airport on a recent trip within China. Since then, I have noticed similar stands popping up where none existed before. Beginning my career in the States where “dressing for success” included a pair of clean and well-polished shoes, it took some adjustment to get used to seeing shoes that were anything but that when I first moved to China. This was understandable when dirt roads and walkways were common and everyone came to work on a bicycle, but China has come a long way since then. Anxious to do my part to ensure the success of the new shoe shine stand, I took the extra five minutes to have my shoes polished. The shine was as good as I’ve gotten anywhere, and the price was right at 10 yuan.
