The rapid expansion within the Chinese automotive industry, especially in areas related to more advanced technology, has resulted in a shortage of the engineering talent required to meet this growth, creating opportunities for both UK engineering companies and those that provide training in such areas. Industrial design is also an area in which China is encountering problems in finding the skills it needs, particularly in high-end areas such as premium vehicles and first-class carriage designs, and UK companies are also well placed to supply these skills.
