| Foreign players invited aboard railway express | | South China Morning Post
February 02, 2009
The Ministry of Railways will spend an estimated 3 trillion yuan (HK$3.4 trillion) to expand and upgrade its rail network over the next five years. While much of this funding will come from the government or through debt, China will still need up to 1 trillion yuan from private and foreign sources to ensure that projects stay on schedule. The country will increasingly need to turn to these sources to fill the gap, opening up enormous opportunities for them as well as for rail equipment and systems makers. | |

| Services openings not being fully tapped | | South China Morning Post
January 19, 2009
In its bid to shift the economy from manufacturing to services, China has in recent years tried to position itself as a destination for offshoring and outsourcing. The global market for such services is expected to exceed US$160 billion by 2012, up from US$60 billion in 2007. Yet today, China still holds less than 10 percent of this market. Subscale companies, shortages of project managers, and the lack of an outsourcing culture among domestic firms are just a few of the barriers holding back the sector.
