Ii. Market environment
Korea is located in the north-eastern part of the asian continent, on the south end of the korean peninsula. The korean government has made good use of the ftas signed with major economies to open up international markets and to provide foreign investors with greater investment space by reforming and deregulating regulations and transforming growth patterns. The political situation in korea has been stable in recent years, with a generally better economic development dynamic, a higher level of industrial development and a stronger capacity for research and development innovation. Economic and trade cooperation between china and korea has maintained steady growth momentum. According to china, bilateral trade amounted to $29,492 million. The signed korea free trade area agreement has achieved high-level, comprehensive and broadly balanced objectives. With 90 per cent of the product tax purposes involved in both countries and 85 per cent of the trade volume liberalized, the agreement covered multiple rule areas and further concessions by both parties in the areas of investment and trade in services。
The two countries have a natural advantage in developing bilateral trade because of their geographical proximity, cultural convergence, easy transport logistics and frequent exchanges of people. At the same time, the economic and industrial technologies of the two countries are at different stages of development, contributing to complementarity of strengths and mutual benefit. According to chinese customs statistics, china's bilateral trade in 2014 was $29,492 million, an increase of 5. 9 per cent over 2013. Of this amount, china exported $10,340 million to korea and imports $19,152. 2 million, an increase of 10. 1 per cent and 3. 9 per cent, respectively. Korea is china's third largest trading partner and third largest exporter, and china's exports to the country include mainly electronics, engineering machinery, fisheries, wireless communications equipment, manufacturing, semiconductors, etc.
