The Isle of Man could be the gateway into Europe for Chinese companies, leading to the potential for income generation and job creation here.
That's the belief of Economic Development Minister John Shimmin, who is leading a trade delegation to China next month.
The trip forms part of the Manx government's strategy to further develop and diversify the economy.
Mr Shimmin says the Island could become a hub for Chinese businesses, which could manage their whole European trade network from here.
He says he hopes to have a productive visit:
Sailings altered as 'ongoing dredging issues' lead to 'insufficient water depths in Douglas port'
Manx Care asks all GPs to formally adopt Jess's Rule
Government 'taking rising fuel prices seriously'
Motion to sell Old Castletown Police Station to be put before Tynwald
