1. The market potential appears to be high in case of considering China as a country of investment. However, the demand in case of investing in China will always be anticipated and not actual. Therefore, the translation of anticipated demand (for investing in China) to actual demand cannot always be guaranteed. The transportation system of China is also not developed in an organized or efficient manner. This implies that there will always be problems related to distribution of products in China. In urban areas there might be better transportation systems in comparison with the transportation systems beyond the boundaries of urban areas.
