The truth behind the mask and the potential of China

Business on November 9th, 2010

The Rhodia Group made its first inroads into China 30 years ago at the precise moment the country initiated the political and economic reforms necessary to embark on its transformation to a modern market economy. Occupying a privileged perch from which to observe the transition from its early stages, the specialty chemical firm has set down solid roots in the Middle Kingdom, leading CEO Jean-Pierre Clamadieu to observe: the opportunities China represents are enormous. Nevertheless, they must be constantly balanced with an increasingly rigid regulatory environment and the near daily struggle to secure adequate supplies of the resources necessary for continued growth.

Derrière les clichés, les vraies opportunités de la Chine

Business on November 9th, 2010

Le groupe Rhodia a fait ses premiers pas en Chine il y a trente ans, au moment où ce pays entamait son stupéfiant virage vers l'économie de marché. Le chimiste de spécialité est devenu au fil du temps un observateur acéré des mutations de l'empire du Milieu. Jean-Pierre Clamadieu, le PDG de Rhodia, nous livre son diagnostic: aujourd'hui, les opportunités restent gigantesques mais les règles d'investissement se durcissent et l'accès aux ressources est un défi de chaque jour.
