Between 1990 and 2007, China’s economy has grown by an average of 10 percent a year. In order to create a more balanced economy across China’s provinces, the government has been encouraging enterprises to move inland and to “open up to the West”, with some success. But although labor is cheaper in these areas, there are fewer skilled laborers, and transportation costs are higher. Foreign investors are so far showing little inclination to venture beyond the coastal provinces. The state’s massive investment in infrastructure has had a major impact on China’s exceptional rate of economic growth, which has, in turn, brought a significant increase in central government revenue through taxation.
