China Friendly
Choose Suffolk is engaged with Suffolk County Council to position Suffolk as China Friendly for both business investment and tourism. Working with partners, Yaxley China, as the campaign unfolds, marketing materials and dedicated business and tourism websites will be developed.
It seeks to rise to the challenge and grasp the huge potential that modern day China offers. The aim is to promote and market Suffolk to China by extending a warm welcoming hand and being fully open for contact in the key areas of business, tourism and education.
We wish to combine the skills and strengths of both the private and public sectors within our country and to involve as many parties as possible in a coordinated, focused approach. Please enjoy learning more from this website and becoming involved in this exciting, groundbreaking project.
China is a vast nation of 1.33 billion people. Many in the West have yet to grasp proactively the immense, rapid, unprecedented change and development the country has been undergoing. Since 1978 its economy has expanded over 70 times in size. It has already overtaken Germany and Japan in GDP, and by 2030 it is expected to surpass the USA to become the world's largest economy. Along side the rapid economic developments, profound demographic and social change are taking place.
