As nation shifts gears, doors open for France

China is creating new business opportunities in its drive to restructure the economy, and French companies are among those taking advantage of this trend, a French industry expert says.

Now that the nation is switching to a model driven by domestic consumption, with a special focus on services, it will create demands that are unlike that existed five or 10 years ago, said Olivier Guibert, president at the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in China.

These demands would be more related to urbanization and services, which French companies would offer.
