International Finance & Accountancy Jobs in China
China is the world's most populous country, with a continuous culture stretching back nearly 4,000 years. Many of the elements that make up the foundation of the modern world originated in China, including paper, gunpowder, credit banking, the compass and paper money.
Nothing can quite prepare you for China. Its sheer scale is enough to confuse and confound, but it’s the intensity in the air, the pace of change, the toughness of the people here, that makes the greatest impact. Liberated from the constraints of the Maoist regime, China is in a rush to rebuild itself.
The opportunities here, especially for visitors, are staggering. The new middle class is unsure where to spend its wealth, perhaps because disposable income is still a novelty. The food is amazing, the prices low and the variety endless.
If you’re living and working in one of the larger cities, the pace of life can become overwhelming. A relaxing trip to the country takes on a new meaning in China. You can’t hope to experience everything, but some good ways to recharge your batteries would be: marvelling at Karst scenery in the Guangxi province; a visit to Xi’an, home to 73 emperors and as the Eastern terminus for the Silk Road, the origin of ideas preceding Christ, Mohammed and Siddartha.
After stagnating for more than two decades under the rigid authoritarianism of early communist rule under its late leader, Chairman Mao, China now has the world's fastest-growing economy and is undergoing what has been described as a second industrial revolution.
In the early 1980s it dismantled collective farming and allowed private enterprise again. Now it is one of the world's top exporters and is attracting record amounts of foreign investment. In turn, it is investing billions of dollars abroad.
As a member of the World Trade Organization, China benefits from access to foreign markets and in return it must expose itself to competition from abroad.
Moreover, the fast-growing economy has fuelled the demand for energy. China is the largest oil consumer after the US, and the world's biggest producer and consumer of coal. The country spends billions of dollars in pursuit of foreign energy supplies. There has been a massive investment in hydro-power, including the $25bn Three Gorges Dam project.
