But in China, there is an unbalanced labor cost between inland China and coastal area of China. China has a lower cost compare with Japan. For the company, choice central and western China to build factories can reduce labor costs.
Marketing factors
China is the world's most important CD, DVD players market. The growing wealth of the Chinese people has added Chinese purchasing power.
China's main import markets, in order of importance, are Japan (13.3%), European Union (11.7%), South Korea (10.9%), Taiwan (9.1%), and the United States (7.2%). Therefore, Japanese products are competitive products in China. But we also contend with other Japanese company like: Sony, Panasonic. Local Chinese companies are holding an important market share.
Trade barriers
China has a trade policy that makes it impossible to export to them under normal conditions. It is more profitable than exporting there because their import tariffs are superfluous. But foreign companies need to cooperate with a local Chinese company. So, we should find and cooperate with a competitive company.
The Chinese government encourages new and high technology into China. So, in China the company may have a relatively good business and growth environment.
