China is the great economic success story of the past 25 years. GDP growth has exceeded 9 percent each year since the mid-nineties and China accounts for 7 percent of global trade. This is set to grow further as the UK and Chinese governments have proposed an increase in UK-China trade to US $40bn by 2010.
