China has recently become one of the most dynamic economies in the world. The growth is such that by 2050, China is expected to overtake that of the United States! Long perceived as a far and almost inaccessible destination, China is more and more appealing to westerners. Consequently, the Chinese government is easing the immigration process for skilled personnel, so that the opportunities for living and working in China have never been better. This book is a detailed survey of these opportunities, from Honk Kong to Shanghai and from Macau to Beijing.

Facts about China:
- The people’s Republic of China was established on 1st October 1949
- Beijing will host the 2008 Olympic Games
- China is the third largest country in the world after Russia and Canada
- The current population is 1.3 billion, the highest in the world
- Mandarin is the official spoken language and is the mother tongue of 70% of the population.
