Beijing Olympics Update: Major shutdowns ahead for the reproduction furniture industry
Posted by Roger under: China News & Events; China; Beijing Olympics .
Everyone knows the Olympics is causing major headaches for anyone in or planning to come to China during these past and next few months. From Visa cancellations to the sudden demolition of warehouses (as a result of last minute beautification campaigns) to unannounced restrictions on transport (to curb pollution) - its all headaches! Some of our own suppliers from the more “sensitive” regions in China have been “deported” back home for “security reasons.” Even our French intern will return to France early since his visa cannot be extended.
Since there are a number of good blog postings concerning the impact of the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics on business, particularly on manufacturing (which is basically all of China) I won’t spend time re-hashing whats already been said. Therefore, here is only quick summary of whats out there on the web at the moment - all worth the read.:
