Why Does China Matter?

China economy by US dollar accounts for 16% global GDP. With 1.4 billion population and biggest industrial output, China has the largest domestic market and is the biggest industrialized country and trading country.

Canada, like other developed nations, recognizes that China is a rising economic superpower whose impact is felt in most economic sectors and in virtually every region of the world.

Canada has strong historical ties to both the Pacific and the Americas. With the right comprehensive strategy and approach, Canadian companies will thrive in China and Sinocan consultant aims to bridge this objective for our clients.

Second Largest Economy by Nominal and Largest Global Economy by PPP

China’s GDP measured in nominal US dollars is $12.24 trillion, second only to the U.S. as estimated by the World Bank in 2019, and China's GDP measured in purchasing power parity (PPPs) is $27.4 trillion, surpassing the US as defined by the IMF in 2019.

The Fastest Growing Market With Over 1.4 Billion Consumers

China's cities have driven the country’s urbanization and economic modernization, and they are home to more than 40 per cent of the population and 75 per cent of China’s GDP. Twenty-five of these cities have populations greater than the Greater Toronto Area, 100 are larger than Calgary, and one megacity, Chongqing, has a population as large as the total population of Canada.
