Vereinbarungen und Verbesserungen, nachdem das WTO verbunden worden ist

China Bankwesenteil 2Als China das WTO verband, verlangte die Organisation China, um mit den speziellen Verpflichtungen hinsichtlich sind des Bankgeschäfts im Land übereinzustimmen. China mußte damit einverstanden sein, ihren Banksektor zu den Auslandsbanken innerhalb fünf Jahre vollständig zu öffnen, nachdem es das WTO von 2001 - 2006 verbunden hatte. China stimmte spezifisch zu, das würde es Auslandsbanken ausländische Währung Geschäft ohne irgendeinen Marktzugang oder nationalen Behandlungbeschränkungen vollenden, und ausländische Währung Geschäft mit fremd-investierten Firmen und fremden Einzelpersonen abhängig von bestimmten geographischen Beschränkungen leiten lassen. Zwei Jahre, nachdem sie das WTO verbunden haben, sollten Auslandsbanken in der Lage gewesen sein, inländisches Währunggeschäft mit chinesischen Firmen abhängig von speziellen geographischen Beschränkungen und innerhalb fünf Jahre zu leiten, die China damit einverstanden ist, alle geographischen Beschränkungen anzuheben. China stimmte auch darin überein, daß Auslandsbanken finanzielle Leasingdienstleistungen werden zur Verfügung stellen gelassen zur gleichen Zeit wie ihre chinesischen Gegenstücke.

However, China was slow in implementing the agreements. In 2002 the People’s Bank of China issued regulations governing foreign-funded banks along with rules to keep pace with the WTO commitments but the PBOC was extremely cautious in opening their bank sector. This situation made it difficult for foreign banks to enter the market and expand their presence. To give an example, the PBOC allowed foreign-funded banks only to open one branch every 12 months. Of course this resulted in pressure from countries such as the USA, Australia, Canada Japan and several European countries. Therefore the PBOC announced in December 2003 that foreign banks were permitted to conduct domestic currency business with Chinese companies and the working capital requirements for foreign banks were reduced.

Why Paying More Is Good China Business

February 5th, 2008 by China Business Success Stories

Good China BusinessMy friend Chris Carr, dean of the CalPoly MBA program and the brains behind the International Business Tour blog has a very thoughtful post, entitled, “Will Paying More Change Behavior And Make Someone More Ethical?” Thoughtful, but wrong.

The post centers on whether paying more gets you better performance and/or better ethics, and Chris pretty much says it does not:

“Some suggested that we could solve the problem of too many defective products coming from China by paying more to the Chinese suppliers that make this stuff. I questioned that assumption, and still do…

China’s Banking Industry

January 31st, 2008 by China Business Success Stories

By Klaus Koehler

China Banking IndustryWhen the China Industrial and Commercial Bank (ICBC) opened for public trading at the stock exchange end of October, the bank raised a total of USD 19.1 billion to start with, achieving the largest initial public offering ever. ICBC is now the top listed bank in Asia and the fifth biggest in the world.

Despite the enthusiasm created by ICBC’s listing, and the fact that international advisors such as Morgan Stanley are planning to add ICBC to its standard index soon, some analysts are still concerned about the basics and fundamentals of China’s banking industry. Over a long period, loans were approved by politically motivated reasons rather than economic decisions, and on several occasions, banks previously had to be “bailed out” by the government.

History of the Banking Industry in China

In the earlier years of the People’s Republic nationalization, the consolidation of the country’s banks received the highest priority. Therefore the banking industry was the first sector to be socialized. In order to maintain a firm control over all financial services, including credit and money supply, the banking system was centralized under the Ministry of Finance.

Because of these objectives, manufacturing in China is becoming more expensive as China adds in hidden (and sometimes not so hidden) costs into the sourcing equation. 

Here are the top 4 reasons you can expect costs to continue to rise in 2008:
