LECCO'S SYSTEM CHALLENGES THE CHINESE BUSINESS REALITY
Lecco, giovedi 10 aprile 2003

On the 10th of April 2003, Lecco's Craftsmen's Union housed an important meeting entitled: "China: the Lecco's system to face it up.
The event, which was organized by Lecco Confartigianato, Ilexport, Chamber of Commerce, Unioncamere and Lombardy Region, was attended by the representatives of the associations and instituitions which have recently shared an experience in China.
This meeting actually proved to be the following step after the institutional and economic mission that Lombardy Region organized last November.
The experience in China has revealed how strongly and actual is the presence of the Chinese business realityon the European and italian market. As regards, Danilo Tizzoni, president of Consorzio Ilexport, has stated: "It is a dreadful reality. China is changing the main rules of the global business.. We have made a proof of the Chinese reality, thus realizing that it is influencing even Lecco's craftsmanship.. The stage is no longer the same: we have to do something". China is actually becoming one of the major economic and industrial powers of the world. Moreover,, since its entry in the WTO, China's market has furher opened, thus giving foreign entrepreneurs more numerous and concrete opportunities of development of business cooperation.
Mr. Mario Tschang, president of Agency for China, is fully aware of this situation. His speech actually helped to liven up the meeting.
Agency for China can boast a long experience in the complex economic and social Chinese reality and it deals with the promotion of economic and commercial exchanges between China and Lombardy Region.
All the participants have underlined the necessity of establishing and strengthening friendly relations with the Asiatic power, the resources of which should be exploited in order not only to avert its commercdial competition but also to form and maintain a profitable economic and commercial alliance.
Mr. Massimo Zanello, regional Minister of Industry, has underlined that the regional undertakings are involving a growing number of small and medium enterprises. The enterprises' requests and needs are various, as some are trying to establish solid and friendly relations with China; others are already arranging to take up their productive settlements and others are looking for local producers who can supply them with competitive goods.
In order to completely satisfy all the requests and to form an intense and sound economic and commercial cooperation concerning all the fields (fisrt of all the industrial one), it will be necessary to exploit and export the Lecco' s system, joining all the efforts and know-hows. Mr. Vico Valassi, president of Lecco's Chamber of Commerce, completely agree on this. Together with all the other participants he has insisted on the fact that in order to face the great Asiatic power it will be necessary a common and unified vision; a global policy about Lecco's economy (and also the regional and even the national economy).
Within the project of an "economical local network" the Chamber of Commerce and Agency for China could act as pivot. By joining their authorities and experiences, they could arrange a kind of negotiating table and coordinate the participants' ideas and projects, taking into consideration the suggestions of any kind of association, firm, institution, bank, consortium and university.
