Published: May 2015
Over the past 10 years China has been reforming its health care system and is attempting to reduce the huge health gap between urban and rural areas where almost one million of barefoot doctors – often trained very late to medical technologies – are still the unique specialists on the ground. Facing a rapidly aging population, growing inequalities, strong urbanization, major territorial imbalance, soaring house prices, “middle class expectations, pollution challenges and new protest movements, authorities have to invest more”, as the daily paper Les Echos pointed out.

New migration waves towards the big industrial hubs, lack of space on the coastal areas, huge pollution rates… “The coming years will be very critical”, American researcher James Canton predicted in 2010. “China will need to meet the needs of a huge urban population as well as manage numerous disproportioned megalopolises.” Managing these super-cities along with the transition towards a new type of urban development remains a key objective for the next decade. And it already allows French companies to gather momentum on issues such as urbanism and sustainable cities. From Wuhan to Shenyang, the “French Touch” is on trial.

Published: November 2014
"Far from being a new Eldorado, the Chinese market has proven extremely difficult to get into.
