This month's BICES exhibition in Beijing, China, will be an important litmus test for the health of the country's construction industry. You can tell a lot about how well business is going in any country by how busy trade shows are and from the mood of exhibitors and visitors. China has of course seen almost unbelievable growth over the last decade. Ten years ago it accounted for about 10% to 15% of the world's construction equipment market by volume, but for the last three years, more construction equipment has been built and sold in China than the rest of the world put together.
