Executive Summary
The Chinese work ethic, quality and drive are the reasons given by Linda Lin, country general manager (China) of US major Becton Dickinson for plans to set up its second Chinese manufacturing plant: BD Diagnostics - Rapid Diagnostics. The facility is due to open during the second quarter of 2008 and will, like BD's other plant, be located at Suzhou Industrial Park, Suzhou (Jiangsu province, east China). Initially, the plant will manufacture tests for diseases such as influenza and respiratory syncytial virus. But offerings will be expanded to include bacterial, parasitic and more viral diseases. The tests will be exported worldwide, including to Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America.
