Getting a business established in the UK is very straightforward, taking 13 days on average, compared to more than 30 days across the EU \u2013 ranking 1st in Europe and 6th in the world. We stand out clearly amongst our comparators.<\/p>\n<p>Of the 970 largest Chinese-owned companies in the UK, over 59,000 people are directly employed, with over 100,000 jobs created within the UK economy by Chinese investment. This number has continued to rise. In 2023, these companies generated a combined turnover of \u00a3116.4 billion and 2023 also saw revenues increase overall by a healthy 21% &#8211; demonstrating vibrancy in the market for Chinese companies to explore.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chinese investment in the UK accounts for 28% of the total figure for Chinese investment shared across all other European markets.<\/li>\n<li>Cumulative Chinese investment in Europe between 2000-2022 shows the UK as by far the most trusted destination by Chinese investors with a transaction value of 81.4 billion euros, which is substantially more than the other main markets \u2013 France, Germany and Italy \u2013 combined. We stand out clearly amongst our comparators.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, 7% of the UK\u2019s total imports come from China, and this is set to grow \u2013 particularly in key areas such as healthcare and the automotive sector, where China is emerging as a globally competitive manufacturer. The UK imported \u00a363.5 billion of goods and services from China in 2022 Q4-2023 Q3, making it the UK\u2019s fourth largest source of imports.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"clear:both; margin-top:2em; margin-bottom:2em;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/why-developing-understanding-of-china-among-the-uks-next-generation-is-critical-to-our-long-term-relationship\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"dofollow\" class=\"u4dc2ea0c2b31a785ec88f7c8a00d8921\"><style> .u4dc2ea0c2b31a785ec88f7c8a00d8921 { padding:0px; margin: 0; padding-top:1em!important; padding-bottom:1em!important; width:100%; display: block; font-weight:bold; background-color:#eaeaea; border:0!important; border-left:4px solid #E74C3C!important; box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -o-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); text-decoration:none; } .u4dc2ea0c2b31a785ec88f7c8a00d8921:active, .u4dc2ea0c2b31a785ec88f7c8a00d8921:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; text-decoration:none; } .u4dc2ea0c2b31a785ec88f7c8a00d8921 { transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; } .u4dc2ea0c2b31a785ec88f7c8a00d8921 .ctaText { font-weight:bold; color:#E74C3C; text-decoration:none; font-size: 16px; } .u4dc2ea0c2b31a785ec88f7c8a00d8921 .postTitle { color:#000000; text-decoration: underline!important; font-size: 16px; } .u4dc2ea0c2b31a785ec88f7c8a00d8921:hover .postTitle { text-decoration: underline!important; } <\/style><div style=\"padding-left:1em; padding-right:1em;\"><span class=\"ctaText\">Read Also<\/span>&nbsp; <span class=\"postTitle\">British youth need to understand China better \u2013 here's why<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden\">CBBC UK Investment Conference &amp; Investment Guide Launch, 24 September 2024<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The UK Investment Conference 2024 will be an opportune moment to reflect on investment successes to date, focus on future opportunities and demystify challenges and complexities.<\/p>\n<p>We will invite 150-200 attendees, with the majority of seats reserved for representatives from Chinese companies.
