Abstract
Since the People's Republic of China (PRC) unveiled its economic modernisation programme in the late 1970s, firms in Singapore have increased their involvement by setting up operations in the PRC. This study aims to provide an inventory of the advantages of Singapore-based investors in their efforts to set up operations there as well as analyse the type of operations undertaken so far. While a quick analysis shows that most of these businesses are in the mature industries, the increasing closer ties between the Chinese and Singapore Governments are encouraging more high technology to be brought into China. These include the setting up of industrial parks, business districts as well as infrastructural projects like airports and seaport management.
