7) Greater connectivity
Meanwhile, greater connectivity is opening up China. By 2020, China will add 30,000 kilometers of high-speed rail to its infrastructure, part of a rail network that should reach 200,000 in tracks by 2030. That means access to inland cities has never been easier both for domestic tourists and salesmen – this should also ensure trends (such as the embrace of oyster bars in first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai) transfer more quickly to inland China.
