At the moment, some Chinese goods are flooding into Thailand, like apples from the southern provinces in the past two years, but most of this is seasonal. Thai fruits are selling well in China when they are in season. The future is only positive.

The slight change is unlikely to have much impact.

The most important thing in doing business with China is to develop connections and build personal networks. This needs to be with the central authorities in Beijing as well as local government officials. Building up personal contacts and relationships with partners and customers is essential. It is also important to understand Chinese culture and language, as many Chinese businessmen and government officials don't speak English.

The FTA with China will be good for Thailand. China is an enormous market of over 1.3 billion people, and their purchasing power is getting stronger every year, but we will have to wait a few years to assess the real benefits.
