Those entrepreneurs made great efforts in running business and managing the whole manufacture operation.
They have to watch closely about the mainland policies for factories and tax policies as well because such policies will change according to the market demand.
In addition, they now are facing more challenges when the business is closely related to RMB appreciation, wage increases, rising material and utility costs, as well as higher administrative and compliance costs.
