China, a major global economy and a top export destination for Canada, attracts significant foreign investment with its vast domestic market and integrated supply chains. The country is shifting from an export-dependent economy to one driven by domestic consumption and the service sector. Government policies heavily promote the adoption of AI, automation and advanced manufacturing as its industries move up the value chain. While this presents new opportunities for Canadian businesses, there are export controls in place. Partnering with local companies is key to success in this market. It’s important for Canadian exporters and investors to conduct the necessary due diligence.
