		<description><![CDATA[Including city-specific details on Chengdu, Guangzhou and Shenzhen Feb. 7 &#8211; Both Chinese nationals and a foreign individuals are subject to a combination of taxes on real estate rental income: including individual income tax (IIT), business tax (BT), property tax (PT), urban maintenance and construction tax (UMCT) and an education surcharge (ES). If simply left to adding up all those rates according to each specific tax law, the taxation on individual rental income would end up pretty high. However, in a move to energize China&#8217;s housing supply market, the Chinese government began offering some tax incentives starting in 2008.

It saw the gathering of business leaders from firms across Europe to understand more about the vast opportunities that are presented by the Chinese market. Businesses represented at the event were either already doing business in China and were not sure how to capitalize on the new opportunities, or were seriously considering the opportunity of entering China. The guidance, advice, and exchanging of information took place in the form of &#8230; <a href="http://www.china-briefing.com/news/2011/07/06/chinas-second-tier-cities-new-kids-on-the-block.html">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nov. 8 – At the recent Economist China Summit, Michael Koenig and Christophe Bezu, of Bayer and Adidas respectively, emphasized that Central China would experience renewed growth and development as per capita GDP and household disposable income increased at the same time that the coastal areas experienced a slowdown. Last week, we featured the top five fastest growing cities in China, Hefei, Baotou, Shenyang, Changchun and Hohhot. Today, we look at the five of the emerging provinces: Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Hunan, Jilin, Hubei. It is no real surprise that they are all inland.

		<description><![CDATA[Op-Ed Commentary: Chris Devonshire-Ellis Aug. 23 – For many years now, as I’ve traveled China on business, I’ve been skeptical of the GDP growth figures. From Shenzhen to Changchun and from Wuhan to Kashgar, via Chongqing, buildings have been going up, rather like mushrooms after a rain storm, as signs of the new prosperity and growth of China. In fact, every single Chinese city, large and small, seems to have acres of new developments – but all lying empty. The giveaway is a quick evening tour of residential and business blocks. If no lights are on, why were they built? &#8230; <a href="http://www.china-briefing.com/news/2010/08/23/is-china-growing-too-big.html">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Op-Ed Commentary: Chris Devonshire-Ellis Jul. 30 &#8211; As the central government encourages a re-balancing of the economy towards more domestic consumption, companies are finding subtleties of selling in China that will shape the way forward for foreign manufacturers doing business here. Gone are the days when a manufacturer would only sell within a region, now the focus is on getting goods to China’s massive rural population; some 900 million people, or three fourths of the total consumer market. This means that long held wisdom in international and even China sales is being remodeled and, in some situations, rethought.
