FBC Meeting - A speech from the Finnish Ambassador


Every year the Amabassador joins one of the Finnish Business Council meetings. He has now been 1 year in China and told us his "views" of things are at the moment and how the future will look like. But after hearing the speech you might not think that China is doing as well as it is.

Wine-tasting from all over the world (yes it was free!)
- 6 millions of students graduating annualy but only about 2-3 million can find a decent job
- Inflation rate 5,7%, prises are rising FAST but salaries don't
- The society is getting old because of the 1 child policy
- Beijing has water crisis, has to pump water from other regions
- Many other things which I cant really remember....
