The report's publication follows a recent call by prime minister Gordon Brown to double Britain's exports to China over the next 18 months - from £5 billion to £10 billion.

China is rapidly developing new capabilities across the manufacturing value chain, beyond its established role in mass production, according to a new University of Cambridge report. The study, by researchers at the Institute for Manufacturing's Centre for International Manufacturing (CIM), identifies many new opportunities for UK companies as a result of China’s continued rapid economic growth.

The report's publication follows a recent call by prime minister Gordon Brown to double Britain's exports to China over the next 18 months - from £5 billion to £10 billion. Last November the Chinese authorities announced a £400 billion fiscal stimulus which, it is believed, will help create business for British firms.
