More than 80 per cent of surveyed mainland Chinese companies plan to grow their overseas presence, with Hong Kong listed as their top choice for a professional services platform to support expansion, the Trade Development Council (TDC) has found.<\/p>\n

The council\u2019s survey, published on Tuesday, also showed that about 94 per cent of respondents were eyeing countries in the Belt and Road Initiative<\/a> for expansion.<\/p>\n

The initiative refers to Beijing\u2019s ambitious global infrastructure and trade programme, which launched in 2013 and spans more than 150 countries.<\/p>\n

The council surveyed 2,015 mainland enterprises, with 82 per cent saying they planned to expand their existing overseas operations and 63 per cent looking to develop new overseas business.<\/p>\n

\u201cExpanding overseas has become a compulsory option for mainland enterprises amid geopolitical tensions and rising costs [among other factors],\u201d said Cherry Yeung Chui-lai, a senior economist with TDC.<\/p>\n

Interest in belt and road countries recorded a substantial uptick from the council\u2019s 2023 survey, in which 73 per cent of polled mainland enterprises mentioned plans to expand into such markets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More than 80 per cent of surveyed mainland Chinese companies plan to grow their overseas presence, with Hong…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":652782,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[174],"tags":[2000,1793,235238,79,995,179,18,1015,4202,19,17,11992,275879,6093,8820,5,21351,1999,391,384,61631,6535],"class_list":["post-652781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economy","tag-asean","tag-beijing","tag-belt-and-road","tag-business","tag-canada","tag-economy","tag-eire","tag-europe","tag-hong-kong","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-latin-america","tag-mainland-chinese-companies","tag-malaysia","tag-middle-east","tag-news","tag-scmp","tag-singapore","tag-thailand","tag-united-states","tag-us-trade-policy","tag-vietnam"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/117146785915784588","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=652781"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652781\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/652782"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=652781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=652781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=652781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
