There are many barriers to doing business in China: most notably, language. Only a very small percentage of the population speak English and very few factories have English speaking personnel. There are also many rules and regulations as to how business can be conducted in China and they are changing rapidly and are in a major state of flux. Since China's entry into the WTO in 2002 over 1000 laws have been changed. Rules for foreign ownership and foreign employees working in China and Chinese nationals working for non-Chinese companies are rapidly changing. The majority of Chinese companies cannot export directly and must export through a trading company that has a license. A few Pump companies do some export, but the vast majority of pump manufacturers in China cater to the Chinese market or the Chinese market and South East Asia.
