Market opportunities in China

All distributors look at China, new WTO member, as a very promising market. The German Metro, already in China since 1995, is to open its 15th store and plans to develop about 50 stores within three or five years. After Beijing and Shanghai, Carrefour is to set up now in the western provinces. Last Wal-Mart, the US giant, will open 5 stores in the capital town.
