The need to mitigate risks associated with uncertainty in the international market has forced Chinese businesses to increasingly focus on their domestic market to reach 1.4 billion potential consumers. However, protectionist practices by various municipal, county-level, and other regional jurisdictions in China favoring local businesses have presented challenges to non-local businesses. To solve the problem, the Chinese national leadership has stepped up its effort to establish a “unified national market”. A six-month campaign recently launched by national authorities is expected to produce results that will also benefit foreign businesses seeking to overcome market access barriers in China.
