Chinese Seek Business Opportunities in Texas, US

A visiting delegation of Chinese entrepreneurs attended a business seminar in Houston Tuesday to learn more about the U.S. market and seek business opportunities.

The delegation, organized by the Chinese Commerce Ministry, comprised chairmen of ten companies from the Chinese cities of Beijing, Guangzhou, Chongqing, and Hainan Province.

At a welcome luncheon Monday for the Chinese delegation, Sarah Davis, Texas' state representative, and Patricia R. Lykos, representative of Harris County Judge Ed Emmett, presented certificates of recognition to the Chinese delegation.

U.S. and Chinese businesses can learn a lot from each other, Lykos said in her welcome speech.

The Chinese entrepreneurs are generally interested in the real estate market in the U.S., said Xue Xiaoming, head of the Chinese delegation, adding that delegates are studying the feasibility of two real estate projects in Houston.

The U.S. real estate market is comparatively mature, which makes the country's real estate projects appealing to Chinese investors, according to Xue.

However, Xue said, for Chinese companies which have no experience in the U.S., they should at first learn about related laws and regulations and the procedures of doing businesses in the country.

The Chinese Commerce Ministry, which has been encouraging Chinese companies to go global in recent years, aims at broadening the Chinese entrepreneurs' vision through business tours of this kind, said Xue.

Business ties between China and Texas have grown in recent years. Texas' exports to China reached $8.91 billion in 2009, ranking third in the 50 U.S. states and almost 10 times the volume of $900 million in 1999.

In 2009, nearly $16 billion worth of goods from China entered the U.S. through Texas ports.

Chinese Cement Industry Outlook: Business Opportunities and Future Growth Potential to 2016

NEW YORK, July 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Chinese Cement Industry Outlook: Business Opportunities and Future Growth Potential to 2016

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0924727/Chinese-Cement-Industry-Outlook-Business-Opportunities-and-Future-Growth-Potential-to-2016.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Building_

Synopsis

The report provides market analysis, information and insights into the Chinese cement industry including:

- In-depth analysis of the Chinese cement industry

- A detailed analysis of market attractiveness, covering the key trends, drivers and regulatory frameworks

- Detailed market size figures for a period of ten years (2007–2016)

- Detailed imports and exports figures for a period of five years (2007–2011)

- Description and analysis of the competitive landscape and the industry structure

- Analysis of market entry, growth and operational strategies of key players

- Profiles of the major companies

- Details of current and future production capacity

Summary

China is the largest cement market in the world, producing and consuming more than half of the cement produced globally. The industry is hugely fragmented, with approximately 3,000 small, medium-sized and large enterprises. The top ten producers account for less than 25% of the market share, and consist of both global and domestic firms. The Chinese Government invested US$500 billion in infrastructure during its 11th five-year plan, and plans to invest US$1 trillion during the 12th five-year plan. The large-scale investment in various spheres of infrastructure, including roads, railways, bridges and ports, is expected to drive the demand for cement over the forecast period. The Chinese cement industry is expected to consolidate over the forecast period, with large domestic and foreign companies acquiring small and medium-sized firms. Stringent emissions standards are likely to lead to the closure or acquisition of smaller plants. The Chinese cement industry, being a highly energy-intensive industry, is focusing strongly on alternative sources of energy and sustainable practices. This has led to partnerships with global cement equipment manufacturing plants, leading to more innovation in energy-efficient and sustainable technology.

Chinese delegation seeks business opportunities in Texas, U.S. - Xinhua News Agency

HOUSTON, July 10 (Xinhua) -- A visiting delegation of Chinese entrepreneurs attended a business seminar in the fourth largest U. S. city of Houston Tuesday to learn more about the U.S. market and seek business opportunities.

The delegation, organized by the Chinese Commerce Ministry, comprised chairmen of ten companies from the Chinese cities of Beijing, Guangzhou, Chongqing, and Hainan Province.

At a welcome luncheon Monday for the Chinese delegation, Sarah Davis, Texas' state representative, and Patricia R. Lykos, representative of Harris County Judge Ed Emmett, presented certificates of recognition to the Chinese delegation.

U.S. and Chinese businesses can learn a lot from each other, Lykos said in her welcome speech.

The Chinese entrepreneurs are generally interested in the real estate market in the U.S., said Xue Xiaoming, head of the Chinese delegation, adding that delegates are studying the feasibility of two real estate projects in Houston.

The U.S. real estate market is comparatively mature, which makes the country's real estate projects appealing to Chinese investors, according to Xue.

However, Xue said, for Chinese companies which have no experience in the U.S., they should at first learn about related laws and regulations and the procedures of doing businesses in the country.

Additionally, Merrill Lynch and Capgemini’s Asia-Pacific Wealth Report 2008 shows that in 2007, high net-worth individuals in China placed 21% of their assets in real estate versus a worldwide average of 14%. The preference the wealthy Chinese show in real estate, along with the current drop in housing prices and a steady RMB, have made real estate investment in the U.S. more appealing than ever before.

Chinese Micro-Enterprises Meet with Difficulties and Opportunities

SHENZHEN, China , March 2, 2012 /CNW/ - Compared with large and medium sized companies, micro enterprises are vulnerable groups. It is difficult for them to set up or continue their business model. Since the 2008 financial crisis, a large number of micro enterprises closed. Chinese import and export enterprises' risk-resisting ability has worsened.

On February 1, 2012 , The Chinese Standing Committee of State Council introduced a policy which further supports the healthy development of micro enterprises. The Chinese Central Accounting Department will use 15 billion RMB to set up a fund and also give support in taxation, financing etc.

Why does Chinese government pay so much attention to micro enterprises? On one hand, micro enterprises absorbs a large number of labor in China .Also, they have made outstanding contributions in industry innovation. Chinese Government also gave a certain support to these micro enterprises on different policies and regulations, such as establishing low tax rate on VAT, sales tax etc.

Policies are beneficial for the development of micro enterprises. However they still need to get rid of some difficulties. According to market survey statistics on Global B2B website http://www.ecvv.com, each company encounters a wide range of problems, which are prominent among micro enterprises: non-stop appreciation of RMB, everlasting rises of raw materials, labor cost etc. These account for 80% of their business cost. The funds which can be used in developing overseas market get fewer and fewer. Due to family background, export micro enterprises may find difficulty getting loans from banks. Their survival is much more difficult.

In order to solve this urgent situation, China's 3rd largest B2B website http://www.ecvv.com is the first to introduce "Pay by Inquiry" business model and also helps micro enterprises to explore overseas market for free. This new kind of business model succeeds in breaking the Chinese B2B traditional business model- "pay by year", for instance, Alibaba.

There are a total of 4 advantages with "Pay by Inquiry": Companies are not put at risk and can start with zero input. You then get the chance to connect with overseas buyers directly by paying 30 US for each inquiry.

ECVV is planning to apply "Pay By Inquiry" into global micro-enterprises so they can also enjoy this free promotion service in Chinese market. Start only by registering for a free account on ECVV. Find more details on http://www.ecvv.com.

Chinese visit a 'big positive' for Iowa and its businesses - Des Moines Register

Iowa business leaders say high-level Chinese visits this week could lead to more open discussions about trade and some of the hurdles that hamper it.

A whirlwind of meetings this week between business leaders and Vice President Xi Jinping and Hebei province officials is already creating business for the state. Chinese leaders signed agreements to buy $4.3 billion in U.S. soybeans, and Pioneer Hi-Bred announced that it will build a seed technology hub in Beijing this year.

Xi, who left Iowa Thursday, has invited Gov. Terry Branstad to return to China.

Debi Durham, the state?s economic development leader, said Xi?s mention of Pioneer and Principal Financial Group during his toast at a state dinner Wednesday night has sparked optimism that China will open new markets to Iowa companies, especially involving bioscience and financial services.

?When you have that level of attention, you can anticipate an intense increase in activity and increased efforts around trade,? said Durham.

Here are some observations from Iowa business leaders about this week?s visit:

William Niebur, who leads Pioneer?s China operations, said CEO Paul Schickler ?discussed key issues that we?re working on collectively,? including the adoption of genetically modified corn in China, during a private reception for Xi with Iowa leaders.

China now uses biotech cotton but so far has not adopted the use of biotechnology to grow corn, soybeans and other crops. The use of biotech helps plants better resist pests and disease and has been credited with rapidly ramping up U.S. crop yields.

Squeezing more crops out of China?s relatively limited farm-able acres is key to providing China?s rising middle class with food and feed for animals, say experts.

?The questions on biotechnology are complex and challenging, and the opinions are diverse,? said Niebur, a vice president at Des Moines-based Pioneer, one of the world?s largest seed companies. ?The dialogue is shifting, and there?s a greater realization of the imminent need and opportunity for biotechnology.?

Xi?s developing relationship with Iowa ?will provide him with the insights and enlightenment required to support his government as it moves to a biotech-based agriculture,? said Niebur.

Larry Zimpleman, chief executive of Principal Financial, said he talked with Xi about his company?s interest in entering China?s developing retirement market. The group now provides mutual fund investments with its partner, the China Construction Bank.

The partners? request to provide retirement products has been ?stuck, but we?re not exactly sure where,? Zimpleman said. He hopes the meeting with Xi will move regulators? approval along.

He said Xi?s visit is ?clearly a big, big positive? for Iowa and its businesses. ?Any business located in Iowa that goes to China will get a much more receptive audience. No question about it,? Zimpleman said.

Durham, the state?s economic development leader, said Xi?s visit and his growing friendship with Branstad will enable Iowa to expand markets, not only for farm products, but for Iowa financial services companies, biosciences and manufacturers ? from food processors to makers of wind turbines and towers.

?We obviously have a very strong partnership around trade when it comes to agriculture. But when the vice president names Principal from the podium, my hope is that the financial services market will open up to us,? Durham said.

Durham said Iowa opportunities will include increased exports to China, partnerships with Iowa companies and direct foreign investment in Iowa. ?The more those trade opportunities open up with China, the more jobs it supports in the state of Iowa,? she said. ?That?s the win-win from these trade agreements.?

R.W. Nelson, co-founder of Kemin Industries with his wife, Mary, said he hopes his visit with Hebei delegates earlier this week will help improve that company?s product registration in China.

?China has been a very good market, and it could be really be beneficial for us,? said Nelson, whose company makes human and animal nutrients. The company?s Chinese plant employs 150 and serves Kemin?s Asian market.

?We get a lot of ?yes, yes, yes,? but we?ll have to wait and see,? he said.

Mary Andringa, CEO of Vermeer, the Pella maker of farm, construction and mining equipment, said the visit gives the United States a good foundation to have difficult discussion about issues like currency and ?indigenous innovation,? guidelines China set to reduce dependence on foreign technology.

She has said relaxing restrictions on U.S. technology could help Iowa companies that have developed sophisticated farm equipment and products. ?We?ll always have issues to work through, but this is a positive place where we can build cooperation,? said Andringa, whose company has had a factory in China for five years.

Jay Byers, chief executive of the Greater Des Moines Partnership, a regional economic development group, said Xi?s visit showcases the state and its businesses.

He said Xi?s visit opens the door for ?reverse investment? in Iowa from Chinese companies looking to build factories, open distribution centers or launch other U.S. operations.

?We?re making those connections with a variety of folks who have been able to see what Des Moines and Iowa is like first- hand,? said Byers. ?We think we?re on a radar that we had not been on before.?

Chinese, American leaders to explore business opportunities at Granite City port - News-Democrat

U.S. and Chinese government officials and private sector leaders will tour America's Central Port on Wednesday to explore business opportunities.

U.S. Rep. Jerry Costello will lead the delegation, which is scheduled to spend about an hour at the Tri-City Regional Port District in Granite City. The hope is to bring Chinese business opportunities to southwestern Illinois, said the port's business development manager, Frank Miles.

Miles, who was formerly an aide to Costello, said the tour is in conjunction with the 4th Annual Transportation Forum being held in St. Louis. He said that at the last forum held in China, officials requested that this forum be held on an inland waterway.

The port's new S Harbor, which is under construction, will handle imports and exports of products produced in the Midwest and will create the most northerly rail, river and roadway freight transfer location south of the Mississippi river lock system.

The port handles 3,000 barges a year and transfers products to trucks and trains. It handles agricultural products, steel, fertilizer and asphalt as well as operates a foreign trade zone, commercial warehouses, industrial property development and office space at the former Mel Price U.S. Army Depot in Granite City.
