Summary/Abstract: Changing conditions in the global economy caused that China has become one of the economic centres in the world. The Chinese market is still a very attractive place for exporters and foreign investors. A lot of entrepreneurs have included China into their internationalization strategy because they have seen the potential and chances for growth on this market. However, it is erroneous thinking about China as a one, huge and homogeneous market. Chinese provinces differ from each other by varying level of development, purchasing power, labour costs, availability of labour, number of foreign companies etc. Even within one country there are cultural differences. The aim of this paper is to present social and economic dissimilarities of Chinese regions by analyzing the key economic indicators, in the context of possibilities of growth on one of the most important markets in the global economy.
