/ Welcome to the China Forum
Qingdao is a city of 7 million people, with a wide range of modern industries and one of the world's busiest ports. China is investing heavily to make Qingdao a global center for maritime and marine research - in addition, the city is one of China's most popular tourist destinations, with clean water and beautiful beaches. The Kristiansand region's cooperation with Qingdao gives us a unique opportunity to understand the challenges in the Chinese market.
