Companies that are able to develop rapport at an individual level in the hierarchy will establish trust, which in turn will open the door for business with China. This paper is based on my original research.

A survey was conducted to assess non-trade barriers and their practical impact on the transfer of environmental technologies and goods and services to China, focusing on Australian vendors.

A survey was conducted to assess non-trade barriers and their practical impact on the transfer of environmental technologies and goods and services to China, focusing on Australian vendors. The highest priority barriers, which are most likely to limit Australian vendors of environmental goods and services in their technology transfers to China, were protection of intellectual property, limitations of the rule of law, fragmentation and bureaucracy of the Chinese government; and establishing appropriate level of ownership (of these vendors). Examples of Australian experiences that confirmed these barriers to providing the needed technology and innovation to manage China's increasing environmental impacts were also examined. These barriers are discussed in relation to a pending free trade agreement between Australia and China. The perceived impacts of such a free trade agreement on corporate environmental managers and environmental consultants are also discussed. The barriers identified do not appear to be unique to transfer of environmental goods and services, but generic to the transfer and adoption of Australian technology into China (http://search.informit.com.au/documentSummary;dn=963044526227571;res=IELBUS).
