NYK keeps faith with China

China will undoubtedly remain a key global manufacturing hub over the next 10 years, despite the global slowdown.

While many companies have reduced spending to lessen the impact of the crisis, some enterprises, such as NYK Group, believe that the way to survive the downturn is to stay the course and work more closely with China.

"We have strategically invested in both car carrier and container vessel terminals in major ports in China. We believe that these investments in the gateways of China have contributed to the development of China as the world's manufacturing hub and market," said Takao Ito, NYK line chief representative for China.
