China has a rapidly growing, and increasingly wealthy middle class. Personal debt is nowhere near the rate of the UK so they have a large disposable income.

The Chinese customer can get easily all the mass consumer products, TVs, cameras, cell-phones and so-called designer clothes etc. they want – they are all made in China!

There is a growing demand for classy, unique, high quality, well crafted and high status imported goods. There are significant opportunities for UK manufacturers of specialist, high value consumer goods to access the Chinese market.
