Your Trusted Partner for Business Success in China

Dezan Shira & Associates was founded in Hong  in 1992, at a pivotal moment in China’s economic reform journey. From the outset, our mission was to provide professional support to international companies seeking to navigate the country’s business environment.  

China offers immense potential for foreign investors but demands a deep understanding of the regulatory, tax, and operational environment. Our teams help companies overcome challenges in China market entry, regulatory compliance, and business structuring. With the country’s evolving legal landscape and industry-specific reforms, our integrated advisory model ensures clients remain competitive and compliant.  

From tax planning to corporate establishment, we provide tailored solutions to support foreign investment in China’s dynamic economy—making us a long-standing partner for businesses expanding into Asia’s most influential market.

Market Overview

China is home to the world’s second-largest economy and remains a strategic priority for global companies. With a vast and increasingly sophisticated consumer base, rapid urbanization, and strong government backing for innovation and infrastructure, China offers foreign investors long-term commercial potential and competitive access to Asia-Pacific markets. 

China has steadily expanded market access for foreign companies through investment treaties, negative list reductions, and FTZ reforms. Incentives for high-tech, environmental, and service industries make it increasingly attractive for investors seeking long-term growth and operational stability in key sectors. 

China's business environment has become increasingly transparent and rules-based, supported by institutional reforms and a clearer regulatory framework. Improvements in intellectual property protection, digital administration, and financial reporting standards have contributed to greater predictability for foreign investors. While regional variations still exist, ongoing legal and tax reforms signal China's intent to align with international norms—offering businesses more stability and clarity when entering or expanding in the market.

From coastal industrial hubs to inland development zones, China hosts one of the world’s most complete supply chain ecosystems. Foreign companies benefit from established logistics infrastructure, manufacturing clusters, and reliable vendor networks—critical for scaling operations and improving delivery times across Asia and globally. 

How We Can Help

We provide end-to-end support for foreign companies navigating the Chinese market—whether you're entering for the first time or scaling existing operations. 

Our multidisciplinary teams deliver integrated solutions across corporate establishment, compliance, advisory, and growth planning. With deep local expertise and a regional outlook, we help businesses operate confidently and competitively in China’s complex, fast-evolving regulatory landscape.
