China plays an important role in the global economic and financial environment. Its huge manufacturing sector is a major driver of global commodity supply.
Although transport costs have to be taken into account, production prices in China are much lower. This allows European retailers to offer more competitive prices and improve their financial results. As a result, it remains financially advantageous for domestic companies to work with Chinese suppliers.
