The state of the stock markets in China looks rocky, but China as a market continues to look rock solid for American companies hungry for growth. With its under-tapped middle class – estimated to reach over 850 million by 2030 by some measures — it is hard to imagine how businesses can enjoy long-term global growth without a strategy to crack China. According to the U.S.-China Business Council, China represents, at least, a $300 billion market for American companies. It is no surprise, therefore, that for a staggering 93 percent of businesses surveyed by the Council, China was among the top five priorities – and the very top priority for 22 percent.
