Global Expansion Series: Japan market entry and operations setup

As Chinese enterprises increasingly seek to explore new markets, Japan is emerging as a key opportunity. In 2023, Japan's exports to China accounted for 17.6% of its total exports, while imports from China made up 22.2% of its total imports. These figures underscore Japan's importance as a trading partner and highlight the potential for growth in bilateral business relations.

In this evolving landscape, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and other favorable factors create a wealth of opportunities for businesses looking to expand into Japan.
