Identifying Chinese Porcelain Marks

How did China economy changes affect Taiwanese investors?

I read a Chinese magazine that talked about how 10,000 factory owners fleed over night to escape the burden caused by China economy changes, such as the decrease on the export tax rebates. However, I’m still having a hard time understanding the 4 major reasons it mentioned; the tax rebates, the labor rights, the deposit on import and the increase on income tax. Can anyone elaborate more on these?

Hi,

Yes China economy is changing, it is upgrading.

Tax rebate and labor law modification are two leading factors.

1) Tax rebate
As china have promised when it entry into WTO, the tax rebate have been reduced year by year(it is like subsidiary). So it is a huge challenge for those labor-intensive companies. As we might know, the profit for industry like textile is 5-10%(factor in the 13% tax rebate), if tax rebate drop from 13% to 11%(in 2006) and RMB appreciate for 15% and the trend is still going on, plus the labor cost increase. You can image what happened in textile industry in China.

2) labor law modification
New labor contract law emphasis on labor’s right and welfare, the cost of labor is increasing(it should be).

3) I think the third biggest factor(maybe the biggest factor) is currency appreciation. RMB TO USD conversion rate drop from 8.28:1 to 8:1, now it is 6.9:1.

But China will go on developing:
1) the labor is still cheap overall.
2) domestic demand is increasing
3) high-tech and service exportation is booming.

China Dawn $10.89 Imagine living through the breakthrough moments of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and the other icons of today’s new economy. The kind of technological revolution that they led in Silicon Valley is now sweeping through China, but with much more dramatic implications. The dynamic entrepreneurs who are using technology to radically transform business and cultural life in China are fighting not only outdated business models and a tumultuous economy but also an unpredictable government that has a love-hate relationship with the Net, at once pushing its expansion at a feverish pace and censoring it. As Duncan Clark, cofounder of BDA, an Internet consulting company in Beijing, told author David Sheff, "This environment — the regulations, the competition, the political uncertainties — makes these the fastest, most courageous, nimblest-thinking people globally. To deal with this level of risk and still sleep is no small accomplishment. But they’re hooked on it like some Chinese are becoming hooked on Starbucks cappuccino." In this irresistible, groundbreaking book, Sheff takes us into the trenches of the Chinese technology revolution, introducing the major and minor players who are leading China into the twenty-first century. Players like Bo Feng, the charismatic former sushi chef who is now one of the leading venture capitalists in China. And Edward Tian, a national hero who has been described as China’s Steve Jobs and Bill Gates combined, who left his own start-up on the eve of its IPO in order to lead the government’s attempt to bring broadband to the entire nation, in the process leapfrogging the United States, Europe, and the rest of Asia with the longest and fastest network in the world. As the U.S. technological revolution wanes, business leaders will be looking to the billion-plus potential customers in China for new growth. In addition, the world’s newest member of the World Trade Organization will no longer be a bystander in the global economy; it will be a fierce competitor. And when hundreds of million Chinese have access to unprecedented information and communication, China itself will be profoundly altered. Jay Chang, an analyst who covers China for Credit Suisse First Boston, sums the seismic nature of the changes: "What happens when China successfully transforms from a mainly agrarian/industrial nation into one that has significant input from the information technology industry? What happens when eighty percent of the state-owned enterprises in China are able to link economically to the global Internet on fast pipes? What happens when China’s engineering talent pool is able to gain access to high-end computing resources and exchange ideas and information easily with their global peers? What happens when fifty percent of the Chinese population gets wired in ten years — six hundred million people, the largest number of Internet users in the world?" With its compelling, character-driven story, researched over the course of t

Deep Economy $9.79 The bestselling author of The End of Nature issues an impassioned call to arms for an economy that creates community and ennobles our lives In this powerful and provocative manifesto, Bill McKibben offers the biggest challenge in a generation to the prevailing view of our economy. For the first time in human history, he observes, "more" is no longer synonymous with "better"–indeed, for many of us, they have become almost opposites. McKibben puts forward a new way to think about the things we buy, the food we eat, the energy we use, and the money that pays for it all. Our purchases, he says, need not be at odds with the things we truly value. McKibben’s animating idea is that we need to move beyond "growth" as the paramount economic ideal and pursue prosperity in a more local direction, with cities, suburbs, and regions producing more of their own food, generating more of their own energy, and even creating more of their own culture and entertainment. He shows this concept blossoming around the world with striking results, from the burgeoning economies of India and China to the more mature societies of Europe and New England. For those who worry about environmental threats, he offers a route out of the worst of those problems; for those who wonder if there isn’t something more to life than buying, he provides the insight to think about one’s life as an individual and as a member of a larger community. McKibben offers a realistic, if challenging, scenario for a hopeful future. As he so eloquently shows, the more we nurture the essential humanity of our economy, the more we will recapture our own.

What Does China Think? $15.89 We know everything and nothing about China. We know that China is changing so fast that the maps in Shanghai need to be rewritten every two weeks. We know that China has brought 300 million people from agricultural backwardness into modernity in just 30 years (something that took 200 years in Europe). We have an image of China as a dictatorship; a nationalist empire that threatens its neighbours and global peace. But how many people know about the debates raging within China about grass-roots democracy; building a peaceful East Asian Community modelled on the European Union; and moving from a low-wage laissez-faire economy to a high-skill knowledge economy based around social democracy? In What does China Think? Mark Leonard asks you to forget everything you thought you knew about China – and start again. He will introduce you to the thinkers that are shaping Chinas future rather than those who developed its past. The book will bristle with their ideas and show that the biggest country in the world has a future that is wide-open. It will open up a hidden world of Chinese thinkers intellectual debates and activism that is driving a new Chinese revolution – and changing the face of the world.

Poorly Made In China: An Insider’s Account Of The Tactics Behind China’s Production Game $12.79 Praise for Poorly Made in China "This fast-paced travelogue through the world of Chinese manufacturing is scary, fascinating, and very funny. Midler is not only a knowledgeable guide to the invisible underbelly of the global economy, he is a sympathetic and astute observer of China, its challenges, and its people. A great read." PIETRA RIVOLI , author of The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy "Paul Midler takes us for a ride through the fastest-growing economy in the world, revealing what can and sometimes does go wrong when U.S. companies shift production to China. Working in the heart of China’s export hub, in the country’s southern region, he has the advantage of a front-row seat to the no-holds-barred games played between manufacturers and importers. He introduces us to a cast of real-life characters and tells his story with a mix of affection and skepticism for what is taking place in China today. Midler delivers a revealing and often funny tale of life and commerce in a country whose exports touch nearly everyone on the planet."

The Coming Collapse Of China $11.09 China is hot. The world sees a glorious future for this sleeping giant, three times larger than the United States, predicting it will blossom into the world’s biggest economy by 2010. According to Chang, however, a Chinese-American lawyer and China specialist, the People’s Republic is a paper dragon. Peer beneath the veneer of modernization since Mao’s death, and the symptoms of decay are everywhere: Deflation grips the economy, state-owned enterprises are failing, banks are hopelessly insolvent, foreign investment continues to decline, and Communist party corruption eats away at the fabric of society. Beijing’s cautious reforms have left the country stuck midway between communism and capitalism, Chang writes. With its impending World Trade Organization membership, for the first time China will be forced to open itself to foreign competition, which will shake the country to its foundations. Economic failure will be followed by government collapse. Covering subjects from party politics to the Falun Gong to the government’s insupportable position on Taiwan, Chang presents a thorough and very chilling overview of China’s present and not-so-distant future. From the Hardcover edition.
