What is the recommended business structure for foreign investors to conduct successful retail businesses in China?
China’s consumers are seeking more modern, value-oriented venues to do their shopping. Many large modern retail outlets have been constructed in major cities. Chain stores and discount stores have been increasing in numbers. However, since wholly foreign-owned retail outlets are officially restricted, most foreign investment in retail stores has adopted the form of either joint ventures or wholly owned Chinese organizations under the management of a foreign parent company.
