Abstract
Transport represents a complexity factor for sourcing in general, and for sourcing from China in particular. This chapter offers a brief overview of the current transport situation in China. Starting with a brief description of the infrastructural evolution of the last decade, the main transport types (rail, air, road and ship) are examined, and their specific characteristics and issues outlined.
