Dai YuWithin a few years, China will almost certainly become the world's largest consumer of petrochemicals.It is already the key export focus for producers in Asia Pacific and the Middle East, and what happens in China will have an increasing impact on global petrochemicals markets.

"In response to this burgeoning petrochemicals demand, China is implementing a significant expansion of domestic production capacity while also encouraging an increasing level of participation from international companies by liberalising business rules and opening up its markets," said Dai Yu, General Manager, Base Chemicals Asia Pacific/Middle East, Shell Eastern Petroleum (Pte) Ltd."Together, these measures are creating a business climate and business conditions that are much more conducive to foreign investment."

Speaking today on "Investing in China" at the 3rd Asia Aromatics & Derivatives Conference in Singapore, the Shell executive said that in addition to steadily reducing import duties on most chemicals products, China is now enabling foreign companies to establish wholly-owned trading and distribution companies, with low capital requirement.Restrictions on foreign investment in refinery and oil products, including retailing, have been reduced.

Dai Yu told the audience: "China has a large and growing pool of high-quality and highly-competitive local equipment suppliers for new projects.
