Based on our latest Business Confidence Survey, the majority of German companies remain committed to the Chinese market. However, many of these companies are also diversifying their operations in countries like India. 73% of respondents said that they already have business activities in India while many others are keen to know more about how this market might fit into their broader Asia strategy.
