Increased business with China should bring benefits to the Isle of Man as a whole.
That claim from Equiom Tax Director Phillip Dearden, who was speaking on Manx Radio's Sunday Opinion programme.
He was alongside representatives of Appleby and ILS Group, which sent representatives to China as part of the recent government and private sector visit.
Mr Dearden says economic growth locally should be spurred by stronger links between the two nations, rather than just benefiting the sectors engaged in the business:
