Developing Your Business from China to India and Vietnam

Posted by Reading Time: 4 minutes

May 11 – China Briefing has just produced a complimentary, 25-page PDF “Moving from China to India, Vietnam and Emerging Asia” in association with the consulting practice Dezan Shira & Associates.

As Chinese outbound investment looks set to be higher in dollar terms than inbound investment next year, and foreign companies in China are now looking at other markets in Asia, this report details cost analysis, labor and factory overheads comparisons between South China, Chennai and Ho Chi Minh City, as well as an overview of other emerging Asian markets such as Cambodia and Laos; complete descriptions of the legal differences, tax implications in these markets, as well as business and cultural differences.

As this new century moves into its second decade, it is apparent that the rise of China has spurred other regional economies forward. With that comes choice, and we hope that the contents within this report will enable the Asia based executive to begin to consider markets beyond that of China’s borders. The opportunities are there.

The contents in full are as follows:
