China is preparing to enter the most crucial stage of its post-disaster reconstruction in Sichuan Province, Southeast China, as, with the completion of road repairs, the reconstruction work can start.

Residences, hospitals and classrooms built with low-quality products led to more casualties in the huge 2008 earthquake, which extended over an area of 100,000 sqkm. In the new urban planning, safety and environmental friendliness are the top two requirements and thousands of manufacturers all over the world are refocusing their strategies for the China market.

China’s economic growth is driven mainly by internal factors that are still active. The effects of the global financial crisis on China will be relatively limited. It is not difficult to predict that, in the coming year, if there are any bright spots in the world economy, China cannot be excluded.

Despite the global slowdown, the Chinese economy remains dynamic as the government has just released emergency plans for the public sector that will help the building industry to overcome the current crisis. Therefore, China is continuing to offer enormous business opportunities in the building sector. Expo Build China not only offers an efficient way to get in touch with the right decision makers but also ensures the right placement of your products for the most efficient and reliable distribution channels in all kinds of qualities and price ranges.
